Calligraphy + Font Options 2 CALLIGRAPHY + FONT OPTIONS CALLIGRAPHY STYLES With custom invitations and day-of orders, there is the option for a custom calligraphy font. It’s always different once you see them in your own names, but here are some popular custom fonts. Let us know a few of your favorites and we can get a good idea of what you’ll want to see in proofing. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. SCRIPT FONT STYLES The semi-custom invitations all have pre-chosen digitized fonts, both a script and a text font. This is a big portion of why there’s no design cost for you with the semi-customs. There are two fonts that can be substituted in any of the semi-custom suites, otherwise the suites are set with their current fonts. The Grayson Script Font The ModernScript Font The Alice, Rosie & Aloha Script Font The Marble Script Ft he live,tndd, lm, leur+opyrpt nt The Opulent + The Meadow Script Font The CharmScript Font The Siea & Monroe Script Fo Alternate Font 1 For Any Semi-Custom Alternate Font 2 For Any Semi-Custom PS - If you’re doing a custom invitation, feel free to choose one of these fonts instead of a custom calligraphy font! SCRIPT FONT STYLES More script style options: 1 Alternate Script Font Example For You 2 Alternate Script Font Example For You 3 Aernate Scrt Ft Exale F You 4 Alternate Script Ft Exa,ple for You 5 Alternate Script Font Example For You 6 Alternate Script Font Example For You 7 Alternate Script Font Example For You 8 Alternate Script Font Example For You 9 Altnate Script Font Example F Y 10 Alternate Script Font Example F You 11 Altnate Script Font Exple F You 12 Alternate Script Font Example F You PS - If you’re doing a custom invitation, feel free to choose one of these fonts instead of a custom calligraphy font! TEXT STYLES SERIF VS. SANS SERIF Just as calligraphy styles can totally change the formality and vibe of the invite, so can the text fonts! There are two kinds of text fonts: serif and sans serif. Sans serif fonts don’t have the little extra lines on the edges of each letter. See this example here with a serif font on the left and sans serif on the right: L vs L The serif fonts are typically more traditional and more formal. The sans serif fonts present a more modern vibe and can also be considered a more causal font. Most sans serif fonts look best in all caps. CASES A little lesson in the different case options as well just in case we use this lingo during our proofing together: Title Case - All Words Capitalized in the Title Sentence case - The first word capitalized, the rest lower case UPPER CASE - ALL LETTERS ARE CAPITALIZED lower case - all lower case, italics usually looks best when lower case FONT OPTIONS If you’re doing a full custom design, please let us know what text styles you’re drawn to! If you’re doing semi-custom then you are good to go with the suite’s text font. Here are some of the most popular fonts we use here below - there’s millions of fonts so if you have another in mind, please let us know. Serif Fonts: Khmer MN | UPPERCASE | italics Baskerville | UPPERCASE | italics Athelas | UPPERCASE | italics Bell MT| UPPERCASE | italics Cochin | UPPERCASE | italics Garamond | UPPERCASE | italics Bodoni 72 | UPPERCASE | italics Mrs Eaves | UPPERCASE | NO italics Sans-Serif Fonts: Century Gothic | UPPERCASE | italics Avenir Next | UPPERCASE italics Champagne & Limos | UPPERCASE | no italics Brandon Grotesque | UPPERCASE | no italics Seravek Extra Light | UPPERCASE | italics Poppins | UPPERCASE | no italics Moa | UPPERCASE | italics.

    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department A GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR FORMATTING COMPUTER-GENERATED BRIEFS, WITH EXAMPLES The rules concerning the formatting of briefs are contained in CPLR 5529 and in § 1250.8 of the Practice Rules of the Appellate Division. Those rules cover technical matters and therefore use certain technical terms which may be unfamiliar to attorneys and litigants. The following glossary is offered as an aid to the understanding of the rules. Typeface: A typeface is a complete set of characters of a particular and consistent design for the composition of text, and is also called a font. Typefaces often come in sets which usually include a bold and an italic version in addition to the basic design. Proportionally Spaced Typeface: Proportionally spaced type is designed so that the amount of horizontal space each letter occupies on a line of text is proportional to the design of each letter, the letter i, for example, being narrower than the letter w. More text of the same type size fits on a horizontal line of proportionally spaced type than a horizontal line of the same length of monospaced type. This sentence is set in Times New Roman, which is a proportionally spaced typeface. Monospaced Typeface: In a monospaced typeface, each letter occupies the same amount of space on a horizontal line of text. This sentence is set in Courier, which is a monospaced typeface. Point Size: A point is a unit of measurement used by printers equal to approximately 1/72 of an inch.

  • Discourse, Materiality and Power: Dietary Supplements and Their Users Susan Roberton Bidwell a Thesis Submitted for the Degree
    Discourse, Materiality and Power: Dietary Supplements and their Users Susan Roberton Bidwell A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Otago, Dunedin March 2020 Abstract Throughout human existence people have used herbs and other medicinal substances to protect themselves against illness and treat their ailments. Gathering wild herbs has, however, been replaced today by the many products on the shelves of health stores and pharmacies in developed countries with health systems similar to New Zealand. Previous studies of supplements and their use have largely focused on how many people use them, or subsumed supplement use within wider studies of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Supplement use, however, has characteristics that make it different from CAM therapies more broadly. Yet there have been only a few investigations where supplement users have been asked directly about their practices, and those that have been done have tended to be under- theorised and so lack depth. This study used a constructionist approach, within which supplements and their users were examined from both humanist and post-humanist perspectives. I used semi-structured interviews to generate data with 36 participants who were regular users of supplements. The interviews were supplemented by observations of the displays of products that participants brought to my attention in the home and retail settings where the interviews took place. A critical theoretical analysis was undertaken, framed by Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the rhizomatic assemblage of multiple, interconnected actants which are always in a process of change. Within this wider framework, aspects of the data were examined using other theoretical concepts including deconstruction, the agency of matter, and Foucault’s ideas of power and caring for the self.

  • Faux Hands for Calligraphy Imitating Non-European Script
    Faux Hands for Calligraphy Imitating Non-European Script THL Helena Sibylla – [email protected] As scribes in the SCA, we’re all familiar with a variety of European scripts from the Middle Ages. We’ve probably all dabbled at least a bit with calligraphic hands like Uncial, Carolingian Minuscule, Early Gothic, or Batarde. While many people in the SCA choose to portray European personas, there are an increasing number of people exploring non-European areas such as Islam and China. Beyond that, there are other scripts that exist around the main core of European writing that fit other personas such as Greek or Norse. If you have a scroll assignment for a person where a medieval European hand just won’t be suitable, there are a couple of options. One is to plug your text into a translation program and then writing in the original language. However, this runs the risk of someone who actually knows the language finding unintentional errors created by the translation software, which doesn’t always understand the quirks and idioms found in non-English languages. Creating a script with the look of a foreign hand that fits the culture of the recipient’s persona has the advantage of allowing the scribe to still write in English while creating a visual effect that is dramatically different from the typical SCA scroll. In addition to the examples provided here, I strongly recommend that you spend some time researching the script of the culture you’re planning to emulate. You will want to consider issues of punctuation and accent marks, as well as decorative letters, and upper and lower cases (if they are used).

Lettering is the art of drawing letters where each letter acts as its own mini illustration. Rather than simply writing letters in a print or cursive style with a continuous stroke, the thing that sets “lettering” apart is the individual attention paid to each letter and its role within a composition. Calligraphy is the art of writing letters and is related to the idea of penmanship. It traditionally uses specific tools like a nib and ink, and it is marked by a variation in width for the upstrokes and downstrokes of each letter (which is what separates it a bit from cursive writing.) Calligraphy is more likely than lettering to be used in longer written pieces. Via handletteringforbeginners.com 4 | Just My Type Online Logo Masterclass logoinspirations.co Contents 6.

  • National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful Hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A
    National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A THE LETTERFORM ANALYSIS “In A4 format make an analysis of the letter-forms of an historical manuscript which reflects your chosen basic hand. Your analysis should include x-height, letter formation and construction, heights of ascenders and descenders, etc. This can be in the form of notes added to enlarged photocopies of a relevant historical manuscript, together with your own lettering studies” At this first level, you will be working with one basic hand only and its associated capitals. This will be either Foundational (Roundhand) in which case study the Ramsey Psalter, or Formal Italic, where you can study a hand by Arrighi or Francisco Lucas, or other fine Italian scribe. Find enlarged detailed illustrations from ‘Historical Scripts by Stan Knight, or A Book of Scripts, by A Fairbank, or search the internet. Stan Knight’s book is the ‘bible’ because the enlargements are clear and at least 5mm or larger body height – this is the ideal. Show by pencil lines & measurements on the enlargement how you have worked out the pen angle, nib-widths, ascender & descender heights and shape of O, arch formations etc, use a separate sheet to write down this information, perhaps as numbered or bullet points, such as: 1. Pen angle 2. 'x'height 3. 'o'form 4, 5,6 Number of strokes to each letter, their order, direction: - make a general observation, and then refer the reader to the alphabet (s) you will have written (see below), on which you will have added the stroke order and directions to each letter by numbered pencil arrows.

  • Vision Performance Institute
    Vision Performance Institute Technical Report Individual character legibility James E. Sheedy, OD, PhD Yu-Chi Tai, PhD John Hayes, PhD The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the legibility of individual characters. Previous work in our lab [2], including the first study in this sequence, has studied the relative legibility of fonts with different anti- aliasing techniques or other presentation medias, such as paper. These studies have tested the relative legibility of a set of characters configured with the tested conditions. However the relative legibility of individual characters within the character set has not been studied. While many factors seem to affect the legibility of a character (e.g., character typeface, character size, image contrast, character rendering, the type of presentation media, the amount of text presented, viewing distance, etc.), it is not clear what makes a character more legible when presenting in one way than in another. In addition, the importance of those different factors to the legibility of one character may not be held when the same set of factors was presented in another character. Some characters may be more legible in one typeface and others more legible in another typeface. What are the character features that affect legibility? For example, some characters have wider openings (e.g., the opening of “c” in Calibri is wider than the character “c” in Helvetica); some letter g’s have double bowls while some have single (e.g., “g” in Batang vs. “g” in Verdana); some have longer ascenders or descenders (e.g., “b” in Constantia vs.
