Fonts : Hypatia Sans Pro, an Adobe Originals typeface. Hypatia Sans Pro was conceived in the fall of 2002, when Adobe's Thomas Phinney (now product manager for fonts and global typography) noted that the Adobe Originals collection did not include a geometric sans serif. Under the guidance and tutelage of Robert Slimbach, Adobe principal type designer, Phinney developed his concept into a font family over the next four and a half years. In the final stages of the project, Slimbach teamed with Miguel Sousa to do the kerning of the typeface as Phinney finalized the outlines.

The capitals would have classic Roman proportions, like Trajan®, while the lower-case would exhibit strong geometric tendencies tempered with humanism to increase warmth and legibility.
Another modern touch comes from the Hypatia Sans weight range, comprising six weights that run the gamut from extra light to black. Hypatia. Hypatia (/haɪˈpeɪʃə/ hy-PAY-shə; Ancient Greek: Ὑπατία; Hypatía) (born c. AD 350 – 370; died 415[2]) was a Greek Alexandrine Neoplatonist philosopher in Egypt who was one of the earliest mothers of mathematics.[3] As head of the Platonist school at Alexandria, she also taught philosophy and astronomy.[4][5][6][7] As a Neoplatonist philosopher, she belonged to the mathematic tradition of the Academy of Athens, as represented by Eudoxus of Cnidus;[8] she was of the intellectual school of the 3rd century thinker Plotinus, which encouraged logic and mathematical study in place of empirical enquiry and strongly encouraged law in place of nature.[3] Life[edit] The mathematician and philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was the daughter of the mathematician Theon Alexandricus (ca. 335–405).[13] She was educated at Athens.

Hypatia of Alexandria. Hypatia was a mathematician, astronomer, and Platonic philosopher. According to the Byzantine encyclopedia The Suda, her father Theon was the last head of the Museum at Alexandria. Hypatia's prominence was accentuated by the fact that she was both female and pagan in an increasingly Christian environment. Shortly before her death, Cyril was made the Christian bishop of Alexandria, and a conflict arose between Cyril and the prefect Orestes.
Orestes was disliked by some Christians and was a friend of Hypatia, and rumors started that Hypatia was to blame for the conflict. Her works include: A Commentary on the Arithmetica of Diophantus A Commentary on the Conics of Apollonious She edited the third book of her father's Commentary on the Almagest of Ptolemy Local Resources The Life of Hypatia from The Suda.
