Introduction to Type Martin Krzywinski mkweb.bcgsc.ca v1 19 October 2010 REASON FOR OPTICALS a version of a typeface designed to be used at small sizes (caption) has its strokes strengthened to maintain legibility the manner in which this is done cannot be trivially duplicated by simply adding a constant outline to the letter form (e.g. 0.5pt stroke in Illustrator) caption versions are unsuitable at large sizes because their strokes are too thick with respect to the height of the letter similarly, display versions are too weak at small sizes CAPTION REGULAR SUBHEAD DISPLAY 6PT EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx 12PT EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx 18PT EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx 36PT EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx EMWaceptsx Letters -

  • The Impact of the Historical Development of Typography on Modern Classification of Typefaces
    M. Tomiša et al. Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) UDC/UDK 655.26:003.2 THE IMPACT OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TYPOGRAPHY ON MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF TYPEFACES Mario Tomiša, Damir Vusić, Marin Milković Original scientific paper One of the definitions of typography is that it is the art of arranging typefaces for a specific project and their arrangement in order to achieve a more effective communication. In order to choose the appropriate typeface, the user should be well-acquainted with visual or geometric features of typography, typographic rules and the historical development of typography. Additionally, every user is further assisted by a good quality and simple typeface classification. There are many different classifications of typefaces based on historical or visual criteria, as well as their combination. During the last thirty years, computers and digital technology have enabled brand new creative freedoms. As a result, there are thousands of fonts and dozens of applications for digitally creating typefaces. This paper suggests an innovative, simpler classification, which should correspond to the contemporary development of typography, the production of a vast number of new typefaces and the needs of today's users. Keywords: character, font, graphic design, historical development of typography, typeface, typeface classification, typography Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama Izvorni znanstveni članak Jedna je od definicija tipografije da je ona umjetnost odabira odgovarajućeg pisma za određeni projekt i njegova organizacija s ciljem ostvarenja što učinkovitije komunikacije. Da bi korisnik mogao odabrati pravo pismo za svoje potrebe treba prije svega dobro poznavati optičke ili geometrijske značajke tipografije, tipografska pravila i povijesni razvoj tipografije.

Decisions have to be made about the typeface to be used, the size (e.g. 12 point size), weight (e.g. light, semi-bold, bold, extra-bold) and style (e.g. italic). In modern use, a font is a typeface. Fonts are typically classified by form (Serif or San-Serif), era (Old Style, Transitional, Modern, etc.) and spacing (Fixed Width or Variable Width). Serif (Roman) fonts have decorative lines at the end of a stroke: Caslon, Garamond, Goudy, Sabon (Old Style) Baskerville, Georgia (Transitional) Bodoni (Modern) Trajan (Incised) San Serif (Gothic or Grotesque) fonts lack serifs: Frutiger, Gill Sans, Myriad, PT Sans (Humanist) Arial, Franklin, Gothic, Helvetica (Grotesque) Futura, Proxima Nova (Geometric) Garamond Gill Sans Lecture 9: Quantitative Analysis and Presentation of Visual Data April 10, 2017 Fixed Width vs.

  • History of Moveable Type
    History of Moveable Type Johannes Gutenberg invented Moveable Type and the Printing Press in Germany in 1440. Moveable Type was first made of wood and replaced by metal. Example of moveable type being set. Fonts were Type set on a printing press. organized in wooden “job cases” by Typeface, Caps and Lower Case, and Point Size. Typography Terms Glyphs – letters (A,a,B,b,C,c) Typeface – The aesthetic design of an alphabet. Helvetica, Didot, Times New Roman Type Family – The range of variations and point size available within one Typeface. Font (Font Face) – The traditional term for the complete set of a typeface as it relates to one point size (Font Face: Helvetica, 10 pt). This would include upper and lower case glyphs, small capitals, bold and italic. After the introduction of the computer, the word Font is now used synonymously with the word Typeface, i.e. “What font are you using? Helvetica!” Weight – the weight of a typeface is determined by the thickness of the character outlines relative to their height (Hairline, Thin, Ultra-light, Extra-light, Light, Book, Regular, Roman, Medium, Demi-bold, Semi-bold, Bold, Extra-bold, Heavy, Black, Extra-black, Ultra-black). Point Size – the size of the typeface (12pt, 14pt, 18pt). Points are the standard until of typographic measurement. 12 points = 1 pica, 6 picas = 72 points = 1 inch. (Example right) A general rule is that body copy should never go below 10pt and captions should never be less than 8pt. Leading – or line spacing is the spacing between lines of type. In metal type composition, actual pieces of lead were inserted between lines of type on the printing press to create line spacing.
