Der Herausgeber versprach, sein Bestes zu tun für den schriftstellerischen Kollegen. Etwas verwunderlich wollt es ihm nun wohl bedünken, als sein Freund ihm gestand, daß das Manuskript von einem Kater, Murr geheißen, herrühre, und dessen Lebensansichten enthalte; das Wort war jedoch gegeben, und da der Eingang der Historie ihm ziemlich gut stilisiert schien, so lief er sofort, mit dem Manuskript in der Tasche.Der Herausgeber versprach, sein Bestes zu tun für den schriftstellerischen Kollegen.

Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby. This was not the same building of which the stately ruins still interest the traveller, and which was erected at a later period by the Lord Hastings, High Chamberlain of England, one of the first victims of the tyranny of Richard the Third, and yet better known as one of Shakspeare’s characters than by his historical fame. The castle and town of Ashby, at this time, belonged to Roger de Quincy.Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby.

About

Opague is a synthetically distilled postmodern geometric sans. Its geometry and apertures are a negotiation of historical references and an insatiable appetite for brutal simplicity. Opague’s character is shaped by a circular O and enforced horizontal lines composed by the apertures and middle height.

Opague forces itself into the spaces where it’s needed. Whether on takeaway lightbox menus or sophisticated wine lists, intricate interface designs or plain headlines, overarching movie titles or closing credits, vast record covers or intimate lyric sheets; Opague is at the service of your everyday design needs.

The family contains a wide range of nine weights, each with a corresponding italic plus a variable font. Opague supports Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin script. Additionally, it’s brimming with typographic tools: arrows, symbols, shapes, additional brackets, all kinds of stylistic sets and contextual alternates, case-sensitive punctuation and a countless amount of sets of figures.
