Arno Pro SmText

[_gerry_cambridge_]

This is a very straightforward question. Can anyone tell me what the "Sm" in "SmText" for Arno Pro means, please?

Thanks!

Small Text. Specifically, 10pt.

Arno Pro comes in 5 optical weights: Caption, Small Text, Regular,
Subhead, and Display.

See:
http://www.adobe.com/type/topics/opticalsize.html
for a general description of optical weights.

T. Phinney, in http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2007/04/arno.html
states:

"For Arno, we minted a new size name of 'small text' in between
'caption' and 'regular,' for the 10 pt optical size."

Dear Herb,

Thanks very much for this useful help--fabulous! I'm using Arno Pro for setting my poetry magazine after a few issues of Bembo, so these clarifications are very valuable.

Best wishes
Gerry
