It was designed by Max Miedinger in 1957 for the Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei type foundry of Switzerland. Its name is derived from Helvetia, the Roman name for Switzerland.

    Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department

    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.

    Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips

    Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips 1. Choose complementary fonts – choose a font that matches the mood of your design. For business cards, it is probably best to choose a classic font. *Note: These fonts are not available in Canva, but are in the Microsoft Office Suite. For some good Canva options, go to this link – https://www.canva.com/learn/canva-for-work-brand-fonts/ Examples: Serif Fonts: Sans Serif Fonts: Times New Roman Helvetica Cambria Arial Georgia Verdana Courier New Calibri Century Schoolbook 2. Establish a visual hierarchy – Use fonts to separate different types of information and guide the reader - Use different fonts, sizes, weights (boldness), and even color - Example: Heading (Helvetica, SZ 22, Bold) Sub-heading (Helvetica, SZ 16, Italics) Body Text (Garamond, SZ 12, Regular) Captions (Garamond, SZ 10, Regular 3. Mix Serifs and Sans Serifs – This is one of the best ways to add visual interest to type. See in the above example how I combined Helvetica, a sans serif font, with Garamond, a serif font. 4. Create Contrast, Not Conflict: Fonts that are too dissimilar may not pair well together. Contrast is good, but fonts need a connecting element. Conflict Contrast 5. Use Fonts from the Same Family: These fonts were created to work together. For example, the fonts in the Arial or Courier families. 6. Limit Your Number of Fonts: No more than 2 or 3 is a good rule – for business cards, choose 2. 7. Trust Your Eye: These are not concrete rules – you will know if a design element works or not! .

    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.

  • Style Guide: Best Practices in Formatting

    Style Guide: Best Practices in Formatting

    Style Guide: Best Practices in Formatting According to Colin Wheildon, author of Type & Layout: Are You Communicating or Just Making Pretty Shapes, it’s possible that 75% of your readers attempting to access your content (whether online, in print, or via email) will disregard what you’re saying based solely on the type of font you choose. That’s right—75%! That’s why it’s critically important to choose fonts that are clean and accessible and to choose a layout that is visual but not busy. Don’t try to pack too much into your layout, or else you may run the risk of your message being lost. First, let’s look at the differences between a “serif” and “sans serif” font. Serif fonts are more embellished, with small lines attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. Popular serif fonts include Times New Roman, Georgia, and Garamond. Many books, newspaper, and magazines use a serif font. In print mediums, serif fonts are often easier to read. Sans serif fonts don’t have the added embellishments. These fonts are often used in advertisements, and are generally easier to read. In print, sans serif fonts are often used as a headline, whereas serif fonts are used for the body text. Popular sans serif fonts include Helvetica, Arial, and Calibri. There are some simple best practices in formatting print, online, and email communications for your organization. These best practices will make your information easier to understand and more accessible to the average reader. When do I use a serif font like Times New Roman or Garamond? For print items, it’s suggested to utilize serif fonts for brochures, donation letters in the mail, etc.
