Stylistic sets or Stylistic Alternates
A stylistic set may consist of a single glyph or dozens of related characters, making it quick and easy to select alternate variants of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols.

Below you can find a cheat sheet of the stylistic sets that our font Noi Grotesk has in store for you.

Contextual Alternates
The Contextual alternates feature is basically a search-and-replace routine that is applied to individual characters based on the letters around them (their context). At the heart of the feature’s code is a process of glyph substitution, e.g.

sub a b’ by b.alt ;

This means, «When a is followed by b, don’t set the default glyph for b, substitute an alternate (b.alt)».

Case Sensitive Forms
By default, glyphs in a font are designed to work with lowercase characters. This feature shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences.

OpenType Figures
OpenType fonts generally contain different numeral styles within one font. Please note that not all applications support OpenType features. Software which cannot access these advanced options, (such as Microsoft Word 2008 and earlier), will only display the default figures.

Oldstyle Figures
These figures are designed with ascenders and descenders and have features and proportions compatible with the lowercase characters of the typeface. Oldstyle figures are typically used for text settings because they blend in well with the optical flow and rhythm of the lowercase alphabet.

Tabular Figures
Tabular figures all have the same width so they align vertically. Therefore they are especially useful when setting columns of numbers, such as in financial reports.

Tabular Oldstyle Figures
Same as Tabular Figures but Oldschool. Surely you can stand out with these.

Caps Figures (or Lining Figures)
These figures are designed in same alignment compatible with the uppercase characters of the typeface, they are preferred when setting certain texts, such as an all-capital headline and generally don’t fit well in lowercase text settings.

Fractions
OpenType uses numerators and denominators (also known as true-drawn superscript and subscript glyphs), separating them with the fraction bar from the font’s character set. Simply put: Just type 123/456 and you’ll see.

• Upload all the fonts to your webs server’s public directory.
  
  For example:
  www.yourdomain.com/css/webfont/
  
  
• Copy paste the code below to your .css file. Make sure you adjust the paths in code to reflect the relative path on your server. For this example you need to prepend /css/webfont/ to all src url definitions.

@font-face {
	font-family: 'NoiGrotesk-SemiBold';
	src: url('NoiGrotesk-SemiBold.eot'); 
	src: url('NoiGrotesk-SemiBold.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),

Letter-Spacing
«Letter-spacing is about adding and removing space between letters. Some people confuse it with kerning, but these two are different; letter-spacing affects the whole line of text, whereas kerning adjusts the space between two individual letters at the time.

The main purpose of letter-spacing is to improve the legibility and readability of the text. Words act differently depending on their size, color, and the background they are on. By adjusting letter-spacing to the environment you will help readers consume your information faster, and more efficiently.»

We recommend to use letter-spacing and word-spacing depending on the font-size to improve readability and style.

p {
	font-size: 14px;
	line-height: 18px;
	letter-spacing: 0.25px;
	word-spacing: 0.1px;  
	font-feature-settings: "calt" on; /* prevents deactivation */
}
