  • Adjustable Circular Chase
    t Adjustable Circular Chase Ready to take your typesetting to the next level? Here are some tips on making the most out of your new Adjustable Circular Chase! This Chase is tried and tested using a proof press Handy to Know! The inside of the chase measures 32 x 32 picas. Setting type at an angle You can set your whole body of type at an angle with ease! Set your type as normal within the chase then just turn the chase to the desired angle you wish to print at. Marked on the chase are increments of 10 degrees. Setting type on a curve You can set type on the outer circle and fill the inner square with furniture, tighten this with a quoin. N.B you’ll need to use smaller point size spacing as you are filling out towards the ends. If there are gaps between the type and the curved furniture, fill with spacing or paper thins to prevent the type from moving whilst printing. Rotational printing When locking up the form for rotational printing, make sure that spacing is equal on all sides to ensure that the type prints in an equal circle. This means that you can’t use a quoin but I find leading is sufficient to hold the type in place. I find it useful to proof the type i’d like to print with and mock up digitally the desired print. That way I know how many rotations I need to do. Working it out - Take the number of characters in the print, divide by 360.

  • Running Head: CONFIGURAL SENSITIVITY to INTER-LETTER SPACING 1
    Running head: CONFIGURAL SENSITIVITY TO INTER-LETTER SPACING 1 Configural sensitivity to inter-letter spacing in visual word perception Hanshu Zhang Central China Normal University Joseph W. Houpt University of Texas at San Antonio Peter Enneson Peter Enneson Design Inc Author Note The details, data, and analysis for the experiments in this research can be accessible at https://osf.io/bynvf/. CONFIGURAL SENSITIVITY TO INTER-LETTER SPACING 2 Abstract The word superiority effect refers to the phenomenon that people have better recognition of letters presented within words as compared to recognition of isolated letters. Although many previous research on how the spatial relations between letters in words affect the perceptual processing through the inversion paradigm, a significant amount of effort goes into setting the default inter-letter spacing when designing new fonts. Our current research examines the effect of manipulating letter spacing on the processing efficiency, as a measure of the word superiority effect. First, we tested multiple different words instead of fixed word stimuli to show that measures of efficiency can be generalized; second, we disrupted default inter-letter spacing by increasing, decreasing, and randomizing letter spacing to explore the extent to which the efficiency was sustained with the assessment functions. Our results indicate that participants are limited capacity only in the extreme spacing scenario. Additionally, the principle component (PC) analysis shows that highest PC values occur at normal spacing with degradation with increased disruptionspreading or narrowing. These results appear to confirm the configural nature of perceptual processing with normally-spaced words between identifiable tracking and kerning boundaries, and agree well with the ideas about optimal spacing by type designers and typographers implicit in general notion of “rhythmic spacing”.

The nation’s first public university is at the heart of what’s next, as we prepare a diverse student body to become creators, explorers, innovators and leaders in North Carolina and throughout the world. The legacy that began in 1795, when the University first opened its doors to students, continues today with Carolina’s nationally recognized, innovative teaching; campuswide spirit of inquiry; and dedication to public service. Letter from Joel Curran: With today’s crowded landscape, an organization’s brand is critical—it drives awareness and recognition and evokes feelings. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the first public university in the nation. It has a rich history of excellence as the “University of the People” and a dynamic present and future as a major research institution. Because of its legacy and promise, UNC-Chapel Hill is a well-known, globally respected brand. As communicators, we are the stewards of that brand. The way that we present Carolina through visual, digital and written communications helps strengthen our connection with all audiences and promotes our values and vision. Style guides are an important tool and a best practice used at peer universities and major organizations to ensure that a consistent tone, look and feel are conveyed.
