Chaparral® Pro

Release Notes

Introduction

Created by Adobe type designer Carol Twombly, Chaparral combines the legibility of slab serif

designs popularized in the th century with the grace of th-century roman book lettering. e

result is a versatile, hybrid slab-serif design, a unique member of the Adobe Originals family of

typefaces. Unlike geometric slab serif designs, Chaparral has varying letter proportions that give it

an accessible and friendly appearance in all weights from light to bold. For OpenType, Chaparral’s

character set was extended, and the ornaments and expert fonts integrated, providing great typeset-

ting power and ease of use.

Chaparral is clear and readable for text, and with its optical size variants in the Chaparral Pro

Opticals package, it excels at smaller text settings while remaining subtle and lively at display sizes.

Like the drought-resistant brush that blooms on the arid California coastal range, Chaparral is a

highly functional and surprisingly beautiful design—the perfect choice for correspondence, as well

as book, poster, and newsletter design.

About optical sizes

e fonts included in this package are designed for use at regular text sizes of - point, although

they may be used at any desired size. However, Chaparral Pro is also available with “optical size”

variants which are speciically designed for use at other sizes. e “Chaparral Pro Opticals” package

includes the text-size fonts from the “Chaparral Pro” package, and adds fonts designed for use at

other sizes: smaller (caption) and larger (subhead and display).

OpenType feature highlights

e most prominent OpenType layout features in these fonts are: small caps, oldstyle igures, liga-

tures, fractions, superscript, inferiors (subscript), and “all alternates.” Note that the choice of which

OpenType features are supported is speciic to each application.

For a full showing of all the glyphs available in the fonts in this package, see the Glyph Comple-

ment PDFs, which are available online at http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype.

Style links & font menus

e weight link in this family is: Regular to Bold. e Light and Semibold weights are not linked.

In most non-OpenType-savvy Windows applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu,

italic styles and weight variants are only accessible by use of the italic and bold style buttons. For

example, you could have all four weights of Chaparral Pro installed, and their italics. However, in

your font menu you might see only the Light, Regular and Semibold; the italics would be accessed

via the italic style button, and the Bold by selecting the Regular and using the bold style button.

On the Mac OS, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also

select fonts by means of style links. Selecting the upright “base weight” and then using the style

links as described above for Windows enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many

applications, such as Microso Word and Adobe PageMaker®, although it is unnecessary with more

sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign™.

One should not, however, select a style-linked “bold” from the menu (such as the Bold for Chaparral

Pro), and then additionally use the bold styling button; doing so will either have no efect, or result

in “faked” further bolding, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results. (e same

is also true for italics.)

Package-speciic compatibility notes

Windows only: e semibold weights do not print from Corel Ventura 8, and do not appear in the

application font menu in CorelDraw 9. is is a known issue with certain versions of Corel applica-

tions which afects a number of OpenType fonts.

For general OpenType compatibility and usage notes, see the OpenType readme and Q&A doc-

uments. e latest versions can be found on the Adobe Web site at http://www.adobe.com/type/
