  • A Letter Is Defined As a Character Or Symbol That Represents Sound Used in Speech
    Typography 1: Letter A letter is defined as a character or symbol that represents sound used in speech. The English alphabet has 26 of these characters, from which all of the English language is derived. Each character is unique, it has it’s own sound, it’s own shape, its own characteristics and its own rules of use. A designer can not properly create good typographic design without a proper understanding of the characters that make up a word, sentence, or paragraph. Images from this slide show come from: http://www.graphictivitis.com/index.php/the-anatomy-of-type/ Typography 1: Letter The English alphabet is made up of uppercase letters, lowercase letters and a full complement of symbols, including periods, commas, exclamation points, question marks, numbers, hyphens, brackets, etc. The overall look and design of these letters is called a typeface. The complete set of letters, numbers, and symbols together is called a font. Samples of Baskerville (left) and Helvetica (right) Typography 1:Letter The two main categories of typefaces are serif or sans serif. Fonts are often divided into serif and sans serif. Serif fonts are distinguishable by the extra stroke at the ends of the character, known as a serif (aka as a tail). Sans serif is a letterform without structural extensions or tails. Sans is french meaning without. Typography 1:Letter Examples of serif and sans serif typefaces Serif: Sans serif is a letterform without structural extensions or tails.

  • Typography in Human-Computer Interaction Cognitive and Aesthetic Implications of Typeface Selection and Presentation
    Typography in Human-Computer Interaction Cognitive and aesthetic implications of typeface selection and presentation Shaun Kelly and Tyler Gregory Iowa State University HCI 521 Fall 2011 Group XE15 2 Typography is the art of laying out text for print or on screens for aesthetics and for readability. It concerns the use of different font faces and sizes and layout constraints such as line height, column width, kerning, and colors. Typography has been around for thousands of years, from stone tablets to illuminated manuscripts to Gutenberg to the GUI. In the context of human- computer interaction, typography has critical importance in a number of applications. The primary purpose of a great deal of software is to provide access to textual content. Additionally, instructions, labels, and navigation for applications are presented in text, and must be readable in order for users to have successful and efficient interactions with the application. Our study looks at typography through the lens of the cognitive psychology literature, namely how different typographic choices made by application designers affect the visual perception, readability, and comprehension of the materials. We are interested in what the scientific inquiry tells us about how we can use typography to improve human-computer interactions. Before delving into the research, we will define a few of the key typographic terms used throughout. Font face or style describes the overall letterform, for example Arial or Times New Roman. Font faces may have serifs (the extensions at the end of the letter, such as in Times New Roman) or may be sans serif (lacking serifs, such as in Arial).
