In addition to the adjustment of spacing, there are also adjustments in the design. The kerning tables, as well, have been individualized for each of these type varieties. That of the Headline Types is decidedly more narrow in order to do justice to the requirements of headline typesetting. That of the Bodytypes is adjusted for readability. The most obvious differentiation can be found in the spacing. One is designed specifically for headline typesetting (SH: Scangraphic Headline Types) and one specifically for text typesetting (SB Scangraphic Bodytypes). Since the release of these fonts most typefaces in the Scangraphic Type Collection appear in two versions. Characters are distributed in six different font layouts: Lining, Office, Expert, Caps, Figures & Pi. Four variants each regular, bold, oblique and bold oblique with a large character set including: small caps, lining and old style figures (here called Office figures) - both tabular -, small caps lining figures, mathematical symbols and fraction figures, and, a set of foreign characters expanding the possibilities of use for a wider range of languages. Both versions, FTF Morgan Sans and FTF Morgan Sans Condensed share the same structure and character mapping. Apropriate versions to use in text setting. Lately, the FTF Morgan Tex Kit 1 was added. Morgan Tower has four variants that differ in width/weight, Morgan Poster has six variants (often called styles), three weights in upright and oblique and Morgan Big has twelve, six weights in upright and oblique. All three versions consist only in uppercase with alternate letters in the lowercase and a set of special ligatures. The design started in 2000 as a display type with the design of the Morgan Tower, to which more two display versions were added Morgan Poster and Morgan Big - all together the make our: FTF Morgan Display Kit 1. For me it’s one typeface with different versions with deliberate and visible differences according to the propose to which each version was created. For the German lower-case diacritical marks, all Headline Types complements contain alternative integrated accents which allow the compact setting of lower-case headlines.The Morgan Project can be considered a big type family with ‘many styles’ or a set of different types that match with each other. For a number of Bodytypes, hairlines and serifs were thickened or the whole typeface was adjusted to meet the optical requirements for setting type in small sizes. For the Bodytypes, fine spaces were created which prevented the smear effect on acute angles in small typesizes.
