Minion was the first multiple master typeface with three flexible design axes — weight, width, and size. This book demonstrates this technology’s ability to generate unlimited variations, especially the size axis, which optically customizes the typeface design according to point size. Sample art and specimen settings also showcase the beauty of the typeface in its varied sizes, weights, and widths.
