Drawn specifically for large sizes, the Tiempos Headline types were created to address these issues. It’s sharp without being shrill or brittle, with snug spacing to optimise copyfit. A greater range of weights than in Tiempos Text allows for flexibility, and the lengthened ascenders and descenders aim to strike a balance between practicality and elegance.

Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, & the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Temporal measurement, or chronometry, takes two distinct period forms: the calendar, a mathematical tool for organizing intervals of time, and the clock. In day-to-day life, the clock is consulted for periods less than a day, the calendar, for periods longer than a day. Now, personal electronic devices display both calendars and clocks simultaneously. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Bold & Bold Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com Artifacts from the Paleolithic suggest that the moon was used to reckon time as early as 6,000 years ago. Lunar calendars were among the first to appear, 12 to 13 lunar months (354 or 384 days). Without intercalation to add days or months to some years, seasons quickly drift in a calendar based solely on twelve lunar months. Lunisolar calendars have a thirteenth month added to some years to make up for the differ- ence between a full year (now known to be about 365.24 days) and a year of just twelve lunar months. The numbers 12 and 13 came to feature prominently in many cultures, at least partly due to this relationship of months to years. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Semibold & Semibold Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com The reforms of Julius Caesar in 45 BC placed the Roman world on a solar calendar. The Julian calendar was faulty in that its intercalation still allowed the astronomical solstices and equinoxes to advance against it by about 11 minutes per year. The Gregorian calendar was only slowly adopted by different nations over a period of centuries, but it is now the most commonly used calendar. The most precise timekeeping device of the ancient world was the water clock, or clepsydra, one of which was found in the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I (1525–1504 BC). They could be used to measure the hours even at night, but required manual upkeep to replenish the flow of water. The Ancient Greeks regularly maintained timekeeping records. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Medium & Medium Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com The hourglass uses the flow of sand to measure the flow of time. They were used in navigation. Ferdinand Magellan used 18 glasses on each ship for his circumnavigation of the globe (1522). Incense sticks and candles were (and still are) commonly used to measure time in temples and churches across the globe. The English word clock probably comes from the Middle Dutch word klocke which, in turn, derives from the medieval Latin word clocca, which ultimately derives from Celtic and is cognate with French, Latin, and German words that mean bell. The passage of the hours at sea were marked by bells, and denoted the time. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Regular & Regular Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com A chronometer is a portable timekeeper that meets certain precision standards. Initially, the term was used to refer to the marine chronometer, a timepiece used to determine longitude by means of celestial navigation, a precision achieved by John Harrison. More recently, the term has also been applied to the chronometer watch, a watch that meets precision standards set by the Swiss agency COSC. The most accurate timekeeping devices are atomic clocks, which are accurate to seconds in many millions of years, and are used to calibrate other clocks and timekeeping instruments. Atomic clocks use the spin property of atoms as their basis, and since 1967, the International System of Measurements bases its unit of time, the second, on the properties of caesium atoms. SI defines the second as 9,192,631,770 cycles. KLIM Tiempos Headline TEXT SETTING / Light & Light Italic / 24 pt. vllg.com In medieval philosophical writings, the atom was a unit of time referred to as the smallest possible division of time. The earliest known occurrence in English is in Byrhtferth’s Enchiridion of 1010–1012, where it was defined as .0016835 of a momentum (1½ minutes), and thus equal to .156 of a second. It was used in the computus, the process of calculating dates. Greenwich Mean Time is an older standard, adopted starting with British railways in 1847. Using telescopes instead of atomic clocks, GMT was calibrated to the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in the UK. Universal Time (UT) is the modern term for the international telescope-based system, adopted to replace Greenwich Mean Time in 1928.

  • Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11
    Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11. Typeface Broadside/Poster Broadsides have been an aspect of typography and printing since the earliest types. Printers and Typographers would print a catalogue of their available fonts on one large sheet of paper. The introduction of a new typeface would also warrant the issue of a broadside. Printers and Typographers continue to publish broadsides, posters and periodicals to advertise available faces. The Adobe website that you use for research is a good example of this purpose. Advertising often interprets the type creatively and uses the typeface in various contexts to demonstrate its usefulness. Type designs reflect their time period and the interests and experiences of the type designer. Type may be planned to have a specific “look” and “feel” by the designer or subjective meaning may be attributed to the typeface because of the manner in which it reflects its time, the way it is used, or the evolving fashion of design. For this third project, you will create two posters about a specific typeface. One poster will deal with the typeface alone, cataloguing the face and providing information about the type designer. The second poster will present a visual analogy of the typeface, that combines both type and image, to broaden the viewer’s knowledge of the type. Process 1. Research the history and visual characteristics of a chosen typeface. Choose a typeface from the list provided. -Write a minimum150 word description of the typeface that focuses on two themes: A. The historical background of the typeface and a very brief biography of the typeface designer.

  • Titling Fonts
    Titling Fonts by Ilene Strizver HISTORICALLY, A “titling font” WAS A FONT OF METAL TYPE designed specifically for use at larger point sizes and display settings, including headlines and titles. Titling fonts, a specialized subset of display typefaces, differ from their text counterparts in that their scale, proportion and design details have been modified to look their best at larger sizes. They often have a more pronounced weight contrast (resulting in thinner thins), tighter spacing, and more condensed proportions than their text- sized cousins. Titling fonts may also have distinctive refinements that enhance their elegance and impact. Titling fonts are most often all-cap, single-weight variants created to complement text families, such as the These titling faces are stand-alone designs, rather than part of a larger family. a lowercase; Perpetua Titling has three ITC Golden Cockerel Titling (upper) is more streamlined than its non-titling cousin (lower). weights; and Forum Titling, based on a It also has different finishing details, as shown Frederick Goudy design, has small caps on the serif ending stroke of the C. in three weights that were added later. The overall design of most (but not all) titling fonts designed as part of the titling fonts is traditional or even historic Dante, Plantin, Bembo, Adobe in nature. In the days of metal type, Garamond Pro, and ITC Golden Cockerel titling capital letters took up the full typeface families. point size body height.

  • Tracing Meta
    MiraCosta College / oceanside MAT 155 Graphic Design 2 : Typography Min Choi // Fall 2017 TRACING META INFO ABOUT META FF Meta is a humanist sans-serif typeface family designed by Erik Spiekermann and released in 1991 through his FontFont library. According to Spiekermann, FF Meta was intended to be a “complete antithesis of Helvetica”, which he found “boring and bland”. It originated from an unused commission for the Deutsche Bundespost (West German Post Office). Throughout the 1990s, FF Meta was embraced by the international design community with Spiekermann and E. M. Ginger writing that it had been dubiously praised as the Helvetica of the 1990s. FF Meta has been adopted by numerous corporations and other organizations as a corporate typeface, for signage or in their logo. These include Imperial College London, The Weather Channel, Free Tibet, Herman Miller, Zimmer Holdings, Mozilla Corporation, Mozilla Foundation, and Fort Wayne International Airport. Over the 25 years since its inception, the FF Meta family has been extended to include eight weights and two widths, as well as additional companion families, like FF Meta Headline, FF Meta Serif, and FF Meta Correspondence. The original FF Meta typeface has extended to a very flexible superfamily, as fresh as it was when it was born. In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art in New York added digital typefaces to its permanent collection for the very first time. Naturally, because of its significance to typography, FF Meta was one of the works included. FF Meta debuted at MoMA as part of the “Standard Deviations” installation in the contemporary design gallery.

    segni 16.03 _ 18.05.2019 esemplari Palazzo della Pilotta, Biblioteca Palatina cogitations and digressions on the shape of writing to celebrate the bi-centenary of the Manuale tipografico 8 by Giambattista Bodoni: manuals, printers’catalogues and posters in an exhibition organised by the Museo Bodoniano of Parma Only recently the year ended in which the bi-centenary of the publication of Giambattista Bodoni’s Manuale tipografico occurred, and the occasion has prompted an exhibition and study day organised by the Fondazione Museo Bodoniano of Parma. ¶ The manual was published posthumously by Bodoni’s widow in order to bring to completion a long-matured project taken on by her husband. It consists of a collection of 665 different alphabets and a series of around 1,300 friezes, as well as a foreword in which Bodoni lays out some of his working methods. ¶ There was a previous collection of typefaces printed by Bodoni in 1788, at the time also entitled Manuale tipografico, but the work lacks a preface or other explanatory text. It is probable that the letter founder from Parma had borrowed the title from a small technical manual by Fournier, the Manuel typographique of 1764, but in reality the two volumes, although sharing the same name, were objects with very different functions. Indeed, Fournier’s was a manual in the real sense of the term, an explanatory publication describing the essential elements of the complex activity of the letter founder, from punch-cutting to producing matrices and ultimately moveable characters. Whereas that of Bodoni was a sample book displaying typefaces and ornaments that he had designed.
