As described is ridiculous. We spend an enormous before, their design was omnipresent and their amount of time spacing, kerning, lining client list seemingly endless. It will not be and positioning type. The fact that we use an understatement to say that the image of the only a small variety of typefaces demands entire country at that time was shaped by just a certain discipline, a skillful precision, one studio. Such scale comes with an obvious a focus on the finer details. It’s certainly downtrade: only the key items and concepts not that a-different-typeface-for-every- could be worked through by the studio’s occasion attitude. Now, that would be world-renown partners (Wim Crouwel, Benno an easy way out. Wissing, Friso Kramer, Ben Bos, etc.), the rest of Experimental Jetset, the work had to be delegated to an army of 2003 common employees. At its peak in the end of the sixties, the office of Total Design employed Lets call it the “Helvetica Paradox”: 45 “permanent associates” — not including the The mechanistic image of Modernism requires countless interns and freelancers. When the Helvetica to be set extremely tight — which is production reaches such scale, it’s not only possible through the most unmechanistic possible anymore to strive for artistic manual labor of a skillful typesetter. excellence in each produced piece, but rather the issue of quality control becomes the main focus. An employee is not supposed to create a masterpiece, an employee is supposed to not make a mistake. To ensure the quality of graphic production, numerous manuals and guidelines were conceived — the industrial production of graphics required the industrial standardization: At the start of our activities, Friso, Wim and I had realized very quickly, that in dealing with large projects, a number of things had to be standardized so that the arrangement of information could be more easily programmed, and more time would become available for handling intrinsic problems. If there were to be variations within the final products, we preferably searched for variations within a modular system, so that mutual relationships, interconnections, clustering and industrial production wouldn’t demand follow-up care. This principle was applicable to architecture, industrial design and graphic design. That’s the history of the birth of the grid! A cuckoo in the nest? Benno Wissing, 1983 Helvetica was an essential element at the core of this system of “total” unity of style. Celebrated throughout the world by the International Style designers as a tool to orchestrate the entire design process, Helvetica does surprisingly little to streamline the actual typesetting process. On the contrary, since the Modernist typography requires it to be set as tightly as possible, it usually requires meticulous and tedious arrangement of every letter by hand: 6 Measurement of Type Font Size: 75 mm Gramatika Regular Line Height: 60 mm Measurement of Type Font Size Working in InDesign, you can set the measurement units in your document to points1, picas2, inches, inches decimal, millimeters, centimeters, ciceros3, agates4, pixels5, or even 19.07 mm introduce your own measurement units. There 32.74 mm is, however, one area to which these settings won’t apply — type size will always be 26.32 mm measured in points regardless of your settings. 13.92 mm Why do fonts require their own measurement system and why can’t their size be expressed 26.27 mm in understandable metric units? I guess, it is some sort of a conspiracy: an obscure measurement system is designed to conceal 19.86 mm the fact that the font size is, essentially, a lie. Because if you look at, for example, Times New 30 mm Roman set in 30 mm size, you won’t find 19.83 mm a single measurement, that relates to the declared 30 mm size in any way (fig. 1). All 13.42 mm the measurements seem to be completely random and do not relate to any measurements Candara Microsoft in any other typeface. In fact, it seems to be the type designer’s duty to reinvent all the metrics whenever a new typeface is created. Hx Often even the fonts by the same publisher won’t feature a single matching value (fig. 2). 19.99 mm All of this makes modern digital fonts completely incompatible with each other: you can’t put two different typefaces on 14.01 mm the same grid. It also renders the creation of any universal typographic system impossible: you can’t build a rational grid out of some unmeasurable ethereal substance, whose size is decided solely by what “feels right” (and therefore changes with every new task). For any true modernist, such environment is 30 mm a constant lingering pain. The standard has to be introduced!

  • End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

  • Arno Pro Release Notes
    Arno Pro Release Notes Introduction Named after the Florentine river which runs through the heart of the Italian Renaissance, Arno draws on the warmth and readability of early humanist typefaces of the 15th and 16th centuries. While inspired by the past, Arno is distinctly contemporary in both appearance and function. Designed by Adobe Principal Designer Robert Slimbach, Arno is a meticulously-crafted face in the tradition of early Venetian and Aldine book types. Embodying themes Slimbach has explored in typefaces such as Minion and Brioso, Arno represents a distillation of his design ideals and a refinement of his craft. As a multi-featured OpenType family, with the most extensive Latin-based glyph complement Adobe has yet offered, Arno offers extensive pan-European language support, including Cyrillic and poly- tonic Greek. The family also offers such typographic niceties as five optical size ranges, extensive swash italic sets, and small capitals for all covered languages. OpenType® OpenType “.otf” fonts are compact single-file cross-platform fonts, which can have extended language support based on Unicode, and enhanced typographic layout features. For OpenType information, including the OpenType User Guide, the OpenType Readme (application compatibility notes), and OpenType Specimen Book PDFs, visit Adobe’s Web site at http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype. About optical sizes Typefaces with optical size variants have had their designs subtly adjusted for use at specific point size ranges. This capability reintroduces one of the features of hand-cut metal type, which uses a separate font for each point size and is often optically adjusted. This is an advantage over the current common practice of scaling a single digital type design to different point sizes, which may reduce legibility at smaller sizes or sacrifice subtlety at larger sizes.

  • Photoshop Typography: Elements of the Character Panel
    PHOTOSHOP TYPOGRAPHY: ELEMENTS OF THE CHARACTER PANEL Learn how to utilize Photoshop typography to create stunning images by effectively pairing text and photos together. Many Photoshop users don’t have access to other programs that allow them to combine type with images, such as Adobe InDesign. Adobe knows that many people use Photoshop to create text-and-image documents, and has expanded the type tools available to Photoshop users. In light of this, I’ve started the “Photoshop Typography” series to help you make your type in Photoshop look professional. THE CHARACTER PANEL IN PHOTOSHOP Open Character panel by going to Type Menu → Panels → Type Panel. You can also type Cmd/Ctrl-T to open the window. All sorts of type choices and options become available to you through this window. It’s time to go exploring. I’ve numbered various areas to draw your attention. #1 – Select A Font Pick the font you want by clicking on the name of the font at the top left of the panel – the screenshot is currently showing Helvetica Neue. Click on the downward pointing arrow at the right of the box to see the whole menu of fonts currently available, or put your cursor at the front the field and type the first few letters of the font name you want. Photoshop will automatically display the font you type from the first few letters. By the way, if you have a font you want to install and use, you can install it at any time, and do not have to restart Photoshop to use the newly installed font.
