    California Baptist University Brand Style Guide CALIFORNIA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY BRAND STYLE GUIDE The CBU Brand A brand is the personality a consumer creates for the organizations or products he or she interacts with. Consumers attribute characteristics to organizations to help themselves understand and then engage or avoid them. Brands can be hopeful, helpful, funny, tired, aloof or cold. Consumers create and revise brand personalities every time they come into contact with the organization. These interactions leave impressions on the consumer’s memory. Visualize the impression a branding iron leaves on the backside of a cow and you begin to appreciate the value of each of your interactions with students, parents, alumni, donors and friends. Consistency is essential to building and maintaining a strong brand for two reasons. First, consumers compare each new interaction to memories of previous interactions. When each successive interaction reinforces previous interactions, brand strength is increased. When interactions conflict with each other, the consumer is left thinking the brand is confused and weak. Second, competition for the consumer’s mind is fierce with organizations competing for milliseconds of their attention through a steady barrage of commercial messages. Consistency in CBU’s message and presentation improves the viewer’s (or listener’s) comprehension and increases the likelihood he or she will understand our message in the brief moment we have to communicate it to them. This guide has been developed to help every member of the CBU workforce (1) understand that he or she IS the CBU brand, and (2) properly and consistently represent the brand in all visual and verbal communications.

This is only a sample of some of the most popular fonts; they have thousands of others to choose from as well. For your convenience, we have marked each font as being appropriate for body text or display text. Body Text fonts are meant for the main body text of your book—paragraphs, lists, etc. These fonts are designed to be easier on the eyes for smoother reading. Display Text fonts are meant for chapter titles, subtitles, etc. They are often “fancier” fonts, such as script or handwriting. We advise against using these as main body text, as they are intended for short strings of text and can become difficult to read in long paragraphs.

    MiraCosta College / oceanside MAT 155 Graphic Design 2 : Typography Min Choi // Fall 2017 TRACING FUTURA FUTURA— the prototype of the family of geometric sans-serif typefaces. It was designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. As opposed to earlier sans-serif designs, the strokes appear to be even weight and geometric. This seems most visible in the almost perfectly round stroke of the O but Futura is actually slightly imperfect. It is often said that Futura was directly related to the Bauhaus. Renner him- self was not associated with the Bauhaus although many of the modern principles taught at the Bauhaus are incorporated into the letterform design of Futura. Futura was developed during a competitive period in the 1920s when various foundries were developing modern san serif type faces for various lead type setting technology. It would be followed by Gill Sans by U.K. Monotype designed by Eric Gill and Metro by U.S. Linotype designed by W. A. Dwiggins. Futura was one of the most popular fonts in use in the 20th century, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, and is in use in the corporate Roman- design of Volkswagen to this day.

  • AVENIR Family

    AVENIR Family

    An Introduction To The AVENIR Family By Stacey Chen O V E R V I E W l Avenir was designed by Adrian Frutiger. l The typeface was first released in 1988 with three weights, before being expanded to six weights. l In 2004, together with Akira Kobayashi, Frutiger reworked the Avenir family. l Avenir has now become a common font in web, print, and graphic design, etc. l Frutiger was born in Unterseen, Switzerland 1928. l At age 16, Frutiger was apprenticed as a compositor to a printer, while taking classes in woodcuts and drawing. l With his second wife, Frutiger had two daughters, who both experienced mental health problems and committed suicide as adolescents. l Frutiger spent most of his professional career working in Paris and living in France, returning to Switzerland later in life. A D R I A N F R U T I G E R l Charles Peignot of Deberny Et Peignot recruited Frutiger based on the quality of the wood- engraved illustrations of his essay. l Impressed by the success of Futura typeface, Peignot encouraged a new, geometric sans-serif type in competition. l Frutiger disliked the regimentation of Futura, and persuaded Peignot that the new sans-serif be based on the realist model. l In 1988, Frutiger completed the family Avenir. Frutiger intended the font to be a more human version of geometric sans-serif types popular in the 1930s, such as Erbar and Futura. A D R I A N F R U T I G E R “Avenir” = “Future” French English A V E N I R i s l Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner.

    Linotype Matrix 4.2—The Legend Continues

    Mergenthaler Edition releases second issue of the new Linotype Matrix Linotype Matrix 4.2—the legend continues. Bad Homburg, 16 May 2006. Following its highly successful relaunch of Linotype Matrix in magazine format last year, Linotype’s publishing label, Mergenthaler Edition, is now releasing the second issue of the classic typographic journal. Linotype Matrix Issue 4.2 takes an exciting and informative look at typography in history – with a thematic focus on the great 20th century type designer William Addison Dwiggins. Within the 64 pages of this richly illustrated issue readers will find articles contributed by some of the best talents working in typography today. For instance, writer and typographer John D. Berry explores the legacy of the Deberny & Peignot type foundry, while the article on Dwiggins’ life and work has been penned by type designer and scholar Paul Shaw, an established Dwiggins authority. Additionally, renowned type historian Sylvia Werfel takes a look at how type systems make designing texts easier. 2006 marks the 50th anniversary of W. A. Dwiggins’ death—an appropriate moment to look back at the contributions of one of the first truly significant type designers from the U.S. As Paul Shaw is currently working on a doctoral dissertation at Columbia University about Dwiggins, he is able to offer an in- depth look at his prolific career as an illustrator, and tells us how, in his late forties, he began a second remarkable career in typeface design at Linotype. Dwiggins was, in fact, the first major type designer to work for the Mergenthaler Linotype Co. in New York and was responsible for creating many great designs, including Metro and Electra, and his most enduring typeface, Caledonia.

It relies on fontspec to work and familiarity with fontspec is advised. I thank Will Robertson for his useful advice and suggestions! The package is developmental and later versions might to be incompatible with this version. This version is incompatible with earlier versions. The package requires at least version 0.9995 of XƎTEX. *v0.2b update by Will Robertson ([email protected]). 1 Should you be using this package? If you are using another LaTEX package for some mathematics font, then you should not (unless you know what you are doing). If you want to use Asana Math or Cambria Math (or the final release version of the stix fonts) then you should be using unicode-math. Some paragraphs in this document are marked advanced. Such paragraphs may be safely ignored by basic users. 2 introduction Since Jonathan Kew released XƎTEX, an extension to TEX that permits the inclusion of system wide Unicode fonts and modern font technologies in TEX documents, users have been able to easily typeset documents using readily available fonts such as Hoefler Text and Times New Roman (This document is typeset using Sabon lt Std).
