Bague Inline Pro is the inline version of Bague Universal a contemporary geometric typeface family which blends distinct minimalist characteristics with mainstream details. Despite its inspiration from Herbert Bayer’s drawings of the 1920s, it diverts from the constructivist rigidity and display structure of early geometric typefaces by incorporating humanist characteristics as well as classic letterform shapes which balance out the extremity of the minimal shapes. Bague Inline is a typeface that stays true to its urban nature and heritage.
A very interesting feature of Bague Inline is its vast array of uppercase alternates and ligatures which truly shine when set at display sizes. Make your selection from 4 groups of alternates as well as a rich set of discretionary ligatures and watch it transform into a flexible, charming and stylish typeface with strong modern aesthetics. This typeface offers enormous possibilities and variations for editorial design and branding.
Bague Inline is the only commercially available inline typeface that comes in 4 weights for uppercase and lowercase letters. Each style consists of 775 glyphs with more that 128 alternates and ligatures and an extended set of characters which supports simultaneously Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
Ligatures: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, creating a professional-looking text with no peculiar collisions among letters. This feature covers the standard f-ligatures, as well as few other ones used in normal conditions.
Discretionary Ligatures: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. It differs from the previous feature in the fact that it activates special (non-standard) ligatures for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. This set includes capital letters only.
Oldstyle figures: Changes selected figures from the default lining to oldstyle i.e. numbers of varying height. These are appropriate for use with lowercase text. They come in two different styles: tabular and proportional. Tabular figures have equal widths (useful for tables, so that numbers line
up from one line to the next) whereas proportional have varying widths and are basically used within a sentence.
Lining figures: This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form. Lining figures are numbers which fit better with all-capital text and they are of the same height as capitals or a bit smaller. They also come in two different styles: tabular and proportional.
Proportional figures: Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle).
Tabular figures: Replaces selected figure glyphs which are set on proportional widths (lining or oldstyle), with corresponding glyphs set on tabular widths (lining or oldstyle).
Stylistic Alternates Set 3: includes a set of uppercase Latin, Cyrillic and Greek letters which replace a capital letter of your choice with a smaller one which sits under the Caps height. View the full list on the character set page.
Stylistic Alternates Set 1: includes alternate glyphs replaced mainly for aesthetic reasons and Stylistic Alternates Set 2: includes a number of unicase letters which replace a limited number of uppercase letters at will.
Stylistic Set 04: includes a number of uppercase letters in an extended (horizontally) form. It offers a rather unique alternate setting in Latin, Cyrillic and Greek. View more samples in the specimen pages.
