Supernova
Typotheque type specimen & OpenType feature specification. Please read
before using the fonts.
OpenType font family supporting Latin based languages with their own
small caps, with extensive typographic features.
What is OpenType?
OpenType is a cross-platform font format developed by Adobe and Microsoft. It
has a potential to provide advanced typographic features such as multilingual
character sets, ligatures, small capitals, various numeral styles, and contextual
substitutions.
OpenType, as the new industry standard, supports Unicode, which
enables the fonts to contain a large number of characters. While PostScript fonts
are a technically limited to a maximum of only 256 characters, OpenType fonts
can have more than 65,000 glyphs. This means that a user does not need to have
separate fonts for Western, Central European, Baltic, Cyrillic or Greek languages,
but could have one single file which supports all these encodings.
OpenType fonts work in all applications, however only some applications
take advantage of the advanced OpenType features. Other applications will only
use the first 256 characters.

a supernova is a stellar explosion that is more en-ergetic than a nova. it is pronounced pron.: with the plural supernovae /or supernovas. Supernovae are ex-tremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fad-ing from view over several weeks or months. during this short interval a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire life span. the explosion expels all of a star’s material at a velocity of up to 30,000 km/s (10% of the speed of light), driving a shock wave into the surround-ing interstellar medium. this shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a super-nova remnant. Nova means “new” in Latin, refer-ring to what appears to be a very bright new star shining in the celestial sphere; the prefix “super-” distinguishes supernovae from ordinary novae which are far less luminous. the word supernova was coined by walter baade and fritz zwicky in 1931.

tips top ten
for astronauts
☞ Do not look directly into the sun, please.
☞ Clip your fingernails before you go. Those fingernail clippings can float all around the cabin, creating a nuisance for your fellows. spacepeople travelling with you.
☞ Don't speak with Aliens
☞ Don't open the windows
☞ Don't hog the windows. Looking out the window is the prime leisure activity on board a spaceship, so be polite and let somebody else gaze at Mother Earth for a while.
Extraterrestrial life (from the Latin
words: extra [“beyond", or “not of "] and
terrestris [“of or belonging to Earth"]) is
defined as life that does not originate
from Earth. It is often also referred to
as alien life, or often simply aliens
(or space aliens, to differentiate from
other definitions of alien or aliens).
☞ Space makes a lot of people sick. There are are special drugs that have been developed for space sickness. Please, use them.
☞ Wear you helmet
☞ Don't play with your food. Liquids form a sphere at zero G, and they are tons of fun to play with, so if you must, just use water, and not staining liquids such as grape juice.
☞ If you have really long hair, consider cutting it. It will look like you've stuck your finger in an electrical socket in space, floating all over the placea apund you.

Small Capitals & All Small Caps (smcp & c2sc)In Adobe applications there are two methods of applying small capitals. The first one, Small Caps (⇧⌘H) fig. 1 replaces only lower case letters with small caps. The second method, All Small Caps, fig. 2 replaces also capital letters with small capitals, and replaces regular quotation marks, exclamation points and question marks, slashes and asterisk with lowered small caps variations.
Case Sensitive forms (case)When function ‘change to caps’ is applied from within an application (not when text is typed in caps) appropriate case-sensitive forms are automatically applied. Regular brackets, parenthesis, dashes and hyphens are replaced with their capital forms.

Standard Ligatures (liga)Standard ligatures are those which are designed to improve the kerning and readability of certain letter pairs. For example, when this feature is activated, typing ‘f’ and ‘i’ will automatically produce the ‘fi’ ligature. Using ligatures does not affect the spelling and hyphenation of your text in any way.
