Adapter is built for contemporary modernist aesthetics, and designer Ana Sanikidze delivers that same salience for Georgian users with the new Adapter Georgian Text.
Modernist sans serifs or neo-grotesques are often an unobtrusive or basic default choice for continuous text. The Adapter Text subfamily is focused on ergonomics, even rhythm, and ease of reading. Its accentuated features, generous spacing, overall openness, and slightly squared counters all lend themselves well to lower resolutions, honouring the reading experience.
This new addition to the series adapts these principles for the fabric of the Georgian script. Its Georgian-specific proportions, with longer ascenders and descenders, and carefully-positioned ink traps ensure functional parity with the other scripts in the Adapter microcosmos. The fonts offer a full bicameral character set, including the capital Mtavruli forms (newly added to Unicode in 2018) nicely complementing the essential, lowercase Mkhedruli letters.
Adapter Georgian Text is also available as a single, lightweight variable font with variation axes for weight, slant, and italic forms. Packing the whole range of weights into a single, feather-light file makes it ideal for the contemporary web. Besides the Georgian language, the fonts also support other Kartvelian languages: Laz, Mingrelian, and Svan.
The Adapter World collection currently supports Arabic, Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Tamil and is determined to grow. These simple, flexible solutions to communicate globally are developed in collaboration with respected script experts to stay authentic and faithful to local preferences.
