Role Serif Display Pro Morisawa Inc. Role Serif Display Pro Role Serif is part of the first stand-alone Latin typeface family released by Morisawa. Other genres in the family include Slab, Sans and Soft. Role Serif has the clearest image of seriousness or faithfulness among other styles. Text has the lowest contrast and the sturdy serifs for high legibility. The contrast gets higher for Display and Banner to help the look become more elegant. The letterforms are optimised for the target usage of each optical range. The letterforms of Text are consistent but morphs into the more decorative design for Display and Banner. The Display is in between Text and Banner and looks more graceful than Text but not too prominent to affect the versatility. Ban- ner is the most elegant design. The characteristic is more emphasised especially for the heavier weights where the widths narrow down.

  • Man of Letters: Matthew Carter's Life in Type Design
    MAN OF LETTERS Matthew Carter's life in type design BY ALEC WILKINSON Onward And Upward With The Arts; Pg. 56 December 5, 2005 Matthew Carter is often described as the most widely read man in the world. Carter designs typefaces. He is universally acknowledged as the most significant designer of type in America, and as having only one or two peers in Europe. A well regarded British type designer named Dave Farey once told a reporter, "There's Matthew Carter, and then there's the rest of us." Carter is sixty‐eight. He is British, and he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He works in a room in his apartment. He has designed type for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Sports Illustrated, Wired, National Geographic, and Business Week; and for newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Guardian, in London. He designed Verdana, for several years the signature typeface of Microsoft; Bell Centennial, the typeface used by A.T. & T. in the phone book; and type called Galliard, which has been used by the U.S. Postal Service on a stamp. Carter has a partner named Cherie Cone who lives in California and sees to the business side of their firm, which is called Carter & Cone Type. Recently, he's been engaged with three projects. One involved designing type for Le Monde, the French newspaper, which wanted a different appearance; one, still under way, is for Yale, where Carter teaches (the university wants a typeface for its official documents, its signs, and the work of its students and faculty); and the third was for the Times.

Mix typefaces with purpose If you are designing with type for a branded environment, that context is different from designing type for a business card. However, there are basic guiding principles. Type is form and should be evaluated based on aesthetic criteria of shape, proportion, and balance. Type commu- nicates on a denotative and connotative level. Type has to be thoughtfully integrated with visuals. Type should be readable. Margins present text type and need to be respected. Transitions between letters, words, and paragraphs are critical—spacing can make or break communication. Typography is the design of letterforms and the arrangement of them in two-dimensional space (for print and screen-based media) and in space and time (for motion and interactive media). Type is used as display or as text.

  • Georgia Alien Heads Found In
    TYPE SPECIMEN alien heads found in Georgia KAYLEE GRODSKE Georgia bold 64 pt Contents page contents 5 Introduction 7 Backstory 9 Alien Heads Found in Georgia 10 Compare 12 Various Cuts 14 Type Features GeorgiaGeorgia GeorgiaGeorgia Georgia Georgia bold 72 pt Georgia Although inspired by the need for - and providing - clarity at low resolutions on the screen, Georgia is a typeface resonant with typographic personality. Even at small sizes the face exudes a sense of friendliness; a feeling of intimacy many Georgia would argue has been eroded from Times New Roman through overuse. This is as much testament to the skill of the typeface’s designer, Matthew Carter, as it is to any intrinsic quality of the face’s design, since the small pixel spaces of the screen can be a harrowing canvas for any type designer. In Georgia, Carter has successfully managed to create a typeface family which combines high legibility Georgia with character and charm. Georgia4 5 GeorgiaGeorgia Georgia bold 58 pt Backstory Designed in 1996 by Matthew Carter. Georgia is the serif companion to the first Microsoft sans serif screen font, Verdana. It was designed specifically to address the challenges of on-screen display and hand-instructed by leading hinting expert, Monotype’s Tom Rickner. Georgia was jokingly named after a tabloid headline ‘Alien heads found in Georgia.’ If you must have one serif face for reading on a computer, then you’ve found the best one right here. At high resolutions and larger sizes on screen, it’s evident that Georgia’s ancestory is essentially that of Didot and - most noticeably - of Scotch Roman.

Type has only existed for about 560 years, but its beginnings are rooted in the life of the caveman himself, as it was his developing needs and habits that led civiliza- tion on a path toward the evolution of the alphabet and subsequently the invention of type and printing. It is certainly possible to learn to use type effectively and tastefully without knowing its roots; but to fully understand and appreciate type today, it is important to know something of the past. Milestones in the history of type are highlighted throughout this chap- ter. Some of the dates, chronology, and details vary from source to source, but the spirit of the events remains the same. These events have taken mankind on a glorious ride from the crudest cave drawings to the bits and bytes of type in the digital age. SOUNDS TO SYMBOLS For many years, early humans communicated purely with sound. Verbal language–which is heard and not seen as opposed to visual language (or visible language, as it is often called)–has many limitations: it is gone the instant it is spoken and heard, and it is therefore temporary. Stories, history, and other information could not be passed on from generation to generation in a permanent way, only by direct word of mouth. The earliest attempts to record stories and ideas were through cave drawings; the fi rst known is dated around 25,000 bc.
