NUMBER THREE, SEPT. 1977 An exploration of the new and merging word processing and typesetting technologies and what they offer the designer, buyer, specifier and other users of printed communications. Vision'77, a three-day conference sponsored by the International Typeface Corporation and hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology May 16-19, 1977, addressed itself to the ultimate consumers who work with type. Newspapers, book and magazine publishers, and commercial graphic arts services have been flooded with seminars, exhibits and trade paper reportage, but the ultimate consumers— such as art and production managers, graphic designers, type directors, printing buyers, advertising and sales promotion managers, marketing directors and some editors and publishers—have been under-informed. Vision'77 attempted to fill this void. U&lc offers in this and its next issue heavy coverage of the information and thinking exchanged at Vision'77. It is impossible, even in the large number of pages of U&lc is devoting to Vision'77, to produce verbatim coverage. Some 1500 slides plus films and even videotapes were needed for the intensive 3-day "crash course." U&lc has edited down the presentations and, in so doing, captured not just Vision'77's highlights but the major viewpoints and conclusions, together with considerable supportive detail. The bulk of U&lc's report is in the words of each speaker.

    INTRODUCTION Type is all around us, in everything we read, from product packaging in the grocery store to television commercials, from greeting cards, books, and magazines to movie credits and storefront signs. Learning to read and write the alphabet is one of the fi rst things we are taught in school, and that process oft en begins before nursery school with television shows and videos intended for the hungry and curious minds of two- and three-year-olds. Type and printed matter not only communicate information to us but also infl u- ence decisions we make on a daily basis. Whether we realize it or not, type and the way it appears aff ects which CD or book cover catches our eyes, which detergent we think might make the whites whiter, and which movie seems like it might be the scariest or most romantic. Much of this process goes on unconsciously, which is why the art and craft of typography is so invisible to the average person. But its unseen nature by no means diminishes the importance and infl uence type has on the quality and substance of our daily lives. Type Rules! is intended for anyone interested in typography, be they a professional graphic designer, an instructor, or a novice computer user. Th ere is something here for everyone, whether you know a little or a lot about type. Th is book does not have to be read front to back; you may thumb through the chapters and stop wherever something sparks your interest, or you may read it chapter aft er chapter, cover to cover.

    Facing up to Fonts Richard Rutter Fonts. Typefaces. The bain of the web typographer’s life right? In previous talks eschewed discussion of typeface Not because of lack of choice but because there’s more important fundamentals. • correct glyphs, leading, margins & white space, vertical rhythm, layout, size system “When the only font available is Times New Roman, the typographer must make the most of its virtues. The typography should be richly and superbly ordinary, so that attention is drawn to the quality of the composition, not the individual letterforms.” Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst • As Bringhurst said… • going beyond that now, because exciting things are afoot ≠ So this talk is about fonts. General rule is that web pages must be rendered using fonts installed on the reader’s computer. Let’s look at some of these... Times New Roman Times New Roman is a serif typeface commissioned by the British newspaper, The Times, in 1931, designed by Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent at the English branch of Monotype. It was commissioned after Morison had written an article criticizing The Times for being badly printed and typographically behind the times. Arial Arial is a sans-serif typeface designed in 1982 by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Monotype Typography. Though nearly identical to Linotype Helvetica in both proportion and weight, the design of Arial is in fact a variation of Monotype Grotesque, and was designed for IBM’s laserxerographic printer. Times New Roman and Arial you’ll be familiar with… You can do beautiful things with just Times New Roman.

    Softmaker Megafont XXL – Part 1 Key to Original Font Names

    Softmaker MegaFont XXL – Part 1 Key to Original Font Names The "MegaFont XXL" Fonts CD-ROM containing thousands of fonts is sold by the Softmaker GmbH, Nürnberg, run by Mr. Martin Kotulla, since December 2002. It comprises almost the entire "Berthold Types" collection including the original Berthold typefaces and numerous ATF and ITC typefaces licensed by the H. Berthold AG. Furthermore MegaFont XXL contains many other typefaces by Adobe, Compugraphic, Esselte Letraset, Fundicion Tipografica Neufville, Linotype (Heidelberger Druckmaschinen), Monotype/AGFA, URW++ and other foundries. The fonts of the MegaFont XXL CD were forged by Mr. Martin Kotulla by the "Linotype Method" (see the report "The Funny Font Forging Industry" http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/forgers.pdf). He forged copyright notices by always inserting "2002" as "year of first publication" (compare § 506 c USA Copyright Law, Criminal offenses: Fraudulent copyright notice). The MegaFont collection is of particular importance for historians of typography. It includes many original fonts of the Berthold period 1858–1993 no longer available elsewhere, e.g. the original Palatino by Hermann Zapf of 1950. The Berthold foundry was founded in 1858 in Berlin as "H. Berthold Messinglinienfabrik und Schriftgießerei" and was transformed into a stockholding company in 1896. The H. Berthold AG was the most important German type foundry for highest-quality photocomposition. Due to mismanagement the H. Berthold AG went broke in 1993. Some years ago a new company called "Berthold Types Limited" was founded in Chicago, Illinois. Many fonts contained in the MegaFont XXL collection are still sold by other type foundries at very high prices.

While in school in Zurich, Adrian Frutiger began to draft the foundation for Univers it would take 3 years before Univers would be released by the Deberny & Peignot foundry in Paris. The design is described as being neo-grotesque, similar to another famous swiss typeface, Helvetica. Originally when Univers was released, Frutiger used numbers rather than names to designate variations of weight, width, and slope. The Univers typeface is consisted of twenty-one typefaces, interestingly Frutiger has 1 given numbers to other type-face families as well 1 including Serifa,Frutiger, and later Linotype also adopted Frutiger’s numerical system for its type family as well.
