The body text of the first edition of this handbook was set in Adobe Garamond Pro, named for the 16th century French type designer Claude Garamond. This version of the typeface was designed for Adobe by Robert Slimbach. This font was not available for distribution, so Times New Roman is used for the body text as of the Second Edition. 8 September 26, 2015 Titles of publications and published material are written in italics, boldface is used for emphasis, and ORGANIZATIONS are shown in SMALLCAPS. Other fonts used in this handbook are: Chianti BT (typically in a bold-italic style) is used for most titles and headers. It was designed in 1991 by Dennis Pasternak of Bitstream to provide a humanist san-serif font of high readability. Gill Sans MT is used for Internet addresses. The typeface was developed in the 1920s by Eric Gill. This version was crafted in the early 1990s by Monotype. Tekton Pro was used in the First Edition for items written in a drum or spoken language, such as “TaKaDiMi Sis Boom Bah – ”. It was designed as an informal typeface for architectural graphics and building construction. It was designed in 1989 by David Siegel of Adobe, based on the hand-lettering of Francis D.K. Ching, a Seattle-based architect and noted author on design and drawing. This font was not available for distribution,
