backpacker design + development

BPreplay came alive from the need to improve MgOpenModata, a rounded typeface made recently available as an open source font from its owner Magenta. Thus, the regular weight of MgOpenModata went through a series of glyph corrections, and in several cases complete alterations (eg. a, epsilon, zeta, xi, omega, etc.), and through this process BPreplay regular was born. BPreplay italics, bold and bold italics, together with small caps and old style numerals, were redesigned from scratch based on BPreplay regular.
Tip: Try using the stylistic alternate "a" (similar to the greek upright alpha) in latin text for a subtly different, but equally interesting, look and feel.
Note: BPreplay family is released under the SIL Open Font License (included in the download .zip file). Please read it before using the typefaces.

Webfont usage

1. Unzip the downloaded file and place the webfont files (.woff, .eot, .ttf) and the accompanying .css file on a specific folder on your server.

2. Copy and paste the code below inside the <head> of the page(s) where you want the webfont to be used

where [folder] = the name of the folder where you put the css and webfont files

3. Add the font-family name at the css rules where you want to use the webfont

div { font-family: BPreplay, Arial; }

4. If the webfont supports italics, bold and/or bold italics you can use them simply by using <b> and <i> tags inside your html code.

5. If the webfont has a Light or other weight, look at the accompanying .css file to find out what weight value you should use.
