This is true for most important aspects of the typefaces. But here is a little explanation to point out the
hidden corners of the font software. Explaining the
design decisions behind the type family, might provide a better understanding. And might make you
love Liza even better.
Technical details
Liza Pro comes in the OpenType font format (.otf extension). This has 3 advantages:
2 OpenType features:
- Ligatures
- Contextual alternates
InDesign:
all goes automatic
QuarkXPress: all goes automatic
Photoshop:
all goes automatic
Illustrator: Oeps, manually (re-)activate
Contextual Alternates!

The bar of the t is a freestyle element in handwriting and signpainting, and likely
to vary a lot depending on its position and surrounding letters. Liza Display Pro has a
feature which checks the availablity of white space on both sides, and makes sure the
bar of the t (or tt) is as free and easy as it can be.

LetterMixer
The LetterMixer makes your letters look different all the time.
academical
LetterMixer
Every a has a different shape. Being the main ingredient of all features in
Liza Text Pro, the LetterMixer takes care that letters appear in a different
shape every time. Note that the differences between all alternates for each
letter are not so extreme as in Liza Display Pro.
Belle Boutique
The electrification
Total Tekno Tlcom
FlexCaps
The shape of the capitals depends on their context.
There are 2 atmospheres for capitals: timid and very
swashy (in Liza Display Pro the atmosphere ranges
from very swashy to extremely swashy).
ProtoShaper
2- & 3-letter-combinationsare
replaced by pre-designed ligatures
AccentLover
There are more alternates of the caps than only the
FlexCaps variatons. Some glyphs only appear when being
followed by accented characters. Thats not only very
common in French, but also in many Eastern European
languages. Liza loves the accents.

5. FlexSentenceCaps

Liza Text Pro will choose a capital which fits to the complete word. This goes automatically and is called FlexCaps.
However, in some situations you might wanna control the
behaviour of the capitals. In that case, use Stylistic Set 01
(FlexSentenceCaps).

The LetterMixer randomly mixes different glyhps (representing the same character) through a
complete text. Take a closer look, and see that none of these letters in this word are identical.

In case the lettermixer
isnt up to snuff, feel free
to manually change glyphs
using the Glyph palette in
your application program.

Penetrator
The Penetrator balances first and
last letters of words. It takes care
that repeating glyph shapes in
longer pieces of text are being
avoided.
The L in the magnifying glass is
specifically designed to appear at
the beginning of a word only. But in
case this shape would appear every
time at the beginning of every
word starting with an L, the text
wouldnt look handmade anymore.
The Penetrator takes care of this, it
fine-tunes the Introducer & Finalizer and simultaneously works side
by side with other features like the
LetterMixer.

lowercase la classe

AutoPunk
Automatic punctuation. The IQ of Liza Caps Pro makes sure that all other characters (like numbers, punctuations and quotations) automatically fit to surrounding
upper- or lowercase characters. Depending on their position/context, these characters turn big or small. It probably wont catch your attention. Just type lowercase and caps like you always do, and Liza Caps Pro will take care the rest fits in.

A couple of OpenType features might give you the little extra youre looking
for. Some applications support Advanced OpenType Layout features. The
OpenType menu is mostly rather hidden, but once youve found it you can
boost the typographic power of Liza. This page demonstrates some of the
features.
And in some applications this might easily be called Caps to Small Caps or
Small Capitals from Capitals, OpenType All Small Caps, but they all do the
same. Theyll turn all your characters to small capitals.
Default situation (Ligatures & Contextual Alternates activated)
I adore Hortense!
Fractions
4 1/3 w 4 1/3
I adore Hortense!
Changing to Tabular Lining style will make all your numerals monospaced.
Also all monetary and mathematical characters will have the same width, as
well as the ampersand. And for demanding users: monospaced fractions (explained a couple of pages further)
Discretionary ligatures
Activating this feature turns some characters like r and k into a swashy
alternate if its followed by a couple of other characters like o or c. Just try
it.Give your text a more flamboyant look.
brother w brother
Next to these features, all other logic, expected OpenType features have
been implemented as well. Ordinals, Superiors and Inferiors, Slashed Zero,
its all there.
Stylistic Sets
Once you add eg. 400 units of tracking in InDesign (eg. CS4), the Contextual
Alternates feature gets switched off automatically. The text turns into all
swashy capitals. Those kind of initials are nice when used in the beginning of
a word, but not when the complete text is set out of them:
C R I T I QU E
In some cases you might need a tight line setting, without any ascenders
or descenders. Activate Stylistic Set 01 if you already have All Small Caps
activated, but still get trouble with the ascenders of q and j.
In such a specific case, where you want to preserve that big amount of tracking, Stylistic Set 02 will help you out and will turn your text into less swashy,
more moderate caps:
aquajogger
aquajogger
(c2sc, liga, calt)
C RI T I QU E
(with ss01)
In case you wanna control the AutoPunk-feature (page 20) manually, you can
select specific characters and activate Stylistic Set 03. This will enlarge all
those characters of Liza Caps Pro which relate to the size of capitals or lowercase (like numbers, punctuation, quotation, etc). In case you wanna have the
opposite (make sensitive characters small), just select them and deactivate
the Contextual Alternates.

Remember seeing that brilliant ornament, but cant remember anymore where its located in the font? Dont have this
PDF with you and not connected to the internet? Dont worry,
youre not lost. Applications which have a Glyph palette can
help you finding that specfic ornament. Mais oui!
The oscillator is also available as a big, nicely screenprinted poster from www.underware.nl
