font manual opmodTurn to the writings of Robert Bringhurst, whose Elements of Typographic Style has served as a sagely reference text for decades, and you’ll find a high-minded articulation of the craft. Typography “exists to honor content,” according to Bringhurst, and when it’s done well it “reveals every element, every relationship between elements, and every logical nuance of the text.” Whether you find these words inspiring or intimidating, the plain fact is that the right typographic choice always reflects the specific needs of the project itself. These needs are not only aesthetic, but also technical and functional—and there’s only so much you can tell from snippets of text as you scroll through a dropdown menu from Alegreya to Zapf Dingbats. Certain fonts work best in headlines, while others read well in paragraphs. Some font families are large enough to include international scripts and special characters. And if the font comes in a range of different styles (like italics or small caps) and weights (from hairline to ultra-black), it’ll offer more tools to fine-tune the design as the project comes together. There’s a lot to think about, sure, but some of the most important considerations are the practical and functional features of the project. By starting with what you already know, then thinking through the following considerations, you’ll find a font that meets your needs. Chances are that a large, long-term project (like a periodical or newsletter) will have a variety of different typographic needs over time. Your best bet for covering those different needs is to choose a large type family that includes a variety of weights, styles, and variants like small caps and ligatures. Large families make branding easier because sticking to a single font over time ensures that you'll be able to handle different situations without having to add another font into the mix.http://floridahouselottery.com/test/userfiles/fisher-fieldvue-dvc6000f-manual.xml

Try these examples: Alegreya, Alegreya SC, Merriweather, Merriweather Sans, Roboto, Roboto Condensed, Work Sans But if this is a short-term project (like a poster, album cover, or logo) you might not need extra weights, or the condensed and extended versions of a font. You could even choose a font with a single weight if you think it’s right for this particular task. Just bear in mind that the versatility of a large type family could still be useful as you make fine adjustments to the text in a short-run project. Try these examples: Bubblegum Sans, Graduate, Scope One, Space Mono While the scope of your project could narrow your search by ruling out fonts that don’t have the range you need, or guiding you toward those that do, remember that there are no hard and fast rules to determine the font with the right aesthetic. That’s a matter of the font’s personality, but to some extent personality depends on familiarity. Many apps and websites still use a small selection of the most common fonts—a holdover from a time when this was the most practical approach to digital typography. It was once the case that using system fonts would be the safest choice because you could count on them to be in working order and available across most devices. Web fonts tend to be just as reliable as system fonts, but with a greater variety to choose from. Try these examples: Proxima Nova, Helvetica, Museo, Futura, Brandon Grotesque (popular); Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, Helvetica, Times, Courier, Verdana, Georgia (system); Gibson, Gotham, Classic Grotesque, Montserrat (web fonts) But if you’re still keen on finding an uncommon font to help your project stand out, there are dozens of commercial type foundries that sell proprietary fonts for either a flat fee or monthly rate. If you want a totally unique, bespoke typeface—and who wouldn’t—it can be expensive and time consuming, so start by reaching out to foundries for quotes.http://hotelcostanarejos.com/admin/fck/fisher-fieldvue-dvc2000-manual.xml On the bright side, whomever you hire will probably handle many of the concerns listed in this guide. Among your free options, you could always look for a less commonly used web font. As a general rule, choosing a newer release means it won’t be in widespread use—at least not yet. We’re of course partial to Google Fonts. Take a spin through the directory to get a sense of just how many free web fonts are out there, and use the family specimen pages to view the amount of each font’s usage across the web. And choosing type according to the length of the text can give readers lots of cues and shortcuts to help with navigation. For headlines and subheads, you can choose an expressive, unique, even idiosyncratic font—including Display, Decorative, Handwritten, and Script styles. These unconventional, high contrast designs tend to work well in this context because their details and visual complexity help to attract the eye. If you’d like to use a sans serif font for short bits of text, especially in large sizes, the regular weight tends to look a little out of place. Consider using the bold and compressed styles instead. If you prefer serifs, hairline serif fonts like Playfair Display or Rufina tend to work well in short lines because their high stroke contrast tends to grab the reader’s attention. Medium-length text, defined loosely as three to four paragraphs, is actually pretty flexible which means you've got options. If you’re leaning toward a serif font, opt for something in the old style like Quattrocento, a transitional style like Libre Baskerville, or a slab serif like Arvo. Prefer a sans serif. Then the best choice would be something in the humanist or grotesque style like Cabin or Raleway, but even some geometric styles like Montserrat will work. Experiment by trying out a few of these and see what works best in layout. When typesetting longer sections of text—exceeding five paragraphs—a serif typeface is recommended.http://fscl.ru/content/eagletree-eagle-eyes-manual This is the traditional choice for book typography, but it also works well on-screen. Old Style or Transitional serif fonts like EB Garamond or Libre Baskerville, tend to be easy on the eyes for longer reading like news and magazine articles. While it’s possible to use a Humanist sans serif font for long stretches of body text, the safer bet is a familiar serif design that readers can process quickly. When choosing web fonts, you often have to weigh several considerations together. While the length of your text helps determine which font you select, the size at which you're setting type is another important factor. At relatively small sizes, up to 16pt, try sans serif options like Roboto, Montserrat and Raleway.Montserrat, Lato, and Quattrocento Sans are good examples. Avoid extreme weights, neither too thick nor too thin, to keep text easy to read at-a-glance. If instead you’d like a Serif font that’s contemporary and not too bookish, look for something without too much stroke contrast, like the Slab serif fonts Arvo, Sanchez, and Slabo. Still, nearly any typographic genre is fair game for large text, just as long as the feelings evoked by the typeface are appropriate for the context. This is the ideal time to use a decorative or handwritten font with swashes and very high stroke contrast like Lobster or Berkshire Swash. Try something highly geometric, retro, or even grungy if it strikes the right tone. Just avoid fonts with large counters (the enclosed, interior spaces of letters like B or q) and tall x-heights, since these features are meant to aid the eye with smaller text and tend to look out of place when they’re scaled up. Remember that your app or website will probably reach users all over the world. Even if you’re providing content in a single language, many people use a translate feature in browser so that content appears in their native language. Choosing a font that includes characters for other languages, guarantees that the design of your site will remain consistent for a broader swath of your readership. This may sound like a losing battle, but there are plenty of font families that include multiscript support. Consider characters accented with diacritic marks like the circumflex (a), grave (a), umlaut (a), overring (a), or ogonek (a). There are many more, but choosing a font with an Extended Latin character set will ensure that accented letters don’t mistakenly default to the unaccented version. A type family should appear consistent, even harmonious across different scripts—which is no small feat. Designers matching two or more scripts for a font must balance separate histories and writing traditions. If you expect to use two different scripts side-by-side, test a few sets of sample text to see if you think the two scripts sit comfortably together. One caveat: just like Latin, there are certain Cyrillic characters used only in a few languages, such as Serbian and Bulgarian. To provide for these languages, make sure the font has “Extended Cyrillic” support. Other web fonts support a wider range of writing systems. Depending on the project, it might be a priority for your font to have matching Arabic, Greek, or Hebrew characters. You can also find web fonts to support a range of Hindic scripts like Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, and Tamil, as well as Southeast Asian languages like Thai. To see your options in Google Fonts, filter by language with the dropdown menu. The stylistic range of a type family breaks down into two parts: its functionality and design features. Functionality refers to the range of styles available to modify the overall appearance of the font. A functional font should have Italics and a range of weights from Thin to Black. Try these examples: Barlow, Poppins, Libre Franklin A font’s design features are narrowly tailored variations on specific characters. These include small caps, contextual alternates, and different numbering styles. Small caps can be useful for titles and headers in certain contexts. They can lend sophistication to the text by adding variety and creating a sense of visual hierarchy. On the other hand, the alternate characters in a serif or sans font may add a touch of distinction that stands out from normal text. The difference between Oldstyle and Tabular styling (shown above), will affect your layout and formatting choices. Tabular figures are often used in tables because each number has the same character width, while Oldstyle figures read more comfortably in paragraphs. Oldstyle figures are preferable for blocks of text like paragraphs. If you look closely, you will notice that some numbers are aligned below the baseline that orients the rest of the text. This helps with the readability of numbers within long strings of text. Tabular figures are vertically centered and monospaced horizontally. This helps them to appear more regular and consistent in tables, hence the name. Also bear in mind that only some fonts include proper fraction signs. Ditto the hundred-odd currency symbols used all over the world. Try these examples: Alegreya, Exo, Montserrat, Roboto, Spectral, Google Fonts with OpenType features With the basics out of the way, you can safely move on to more complicated decisions like font pairing. Pairing can be a fairly nuanced and complicated matter, even for type experts, but that doesn't mean it should be avoided altogether. “There are endless combinations, and finding the right pairing can take a long time,” says designer Yuin Chen, who led last year’s Google Fonts update. There's pleasure in trying out different combinations, so embrace the process and test as many options as you can—what works best might surprise you. Some pairings work well due to their contrast, while other pairings thrive on similarity. Stark differences can make a layout appear more dynamic, while using different styles from a superfamily adds visual cohesion. If you’ve chosen a unique and striking display font for titling, try something toned-down and familiar for the body text. A classic choice would be to use the sans serif style for titling and the serif style for body text. Try these examples: Alegreya and Alegreya Sans (similar), Libre Franklin and Libre Baskerville (contrast) Pro tip: When browsing family specimen pages in the Google Fonts directory, you can try out and customize popular pairings. Review the full range of characters and styles for each option. Check out how they look in Cyrillic or Thai. Find a bio for the designer, and see how this font has been used in the past. Above all, you don’t want to underestimate your typographic needs or the needs of your readers. The more styles, characters, and scripts a font supports, the better prepared you’ll be. Typography is a subtle art, but less elusive than its reputation might suggest. If you’ve already given some thought to the organization of your project, its scope, and its audience, you’re primed to make smart typographic choices. Several designers lent their expertise to the construction of this guide: Yuin Chien, Joana Correia, Dave Crossland, Natanael Gama, Octavio Pardo, Eben Sorkin, and Eduardo Tunni. We work across teams to publish original content, produce events, and foster creative and educational partnerships that advance design and technology. There’s a lot more to it than that. There’s a gross misconception that typography is simply “font choice” and as long as the font looks good, our work is done. This undermines how important the right typeface is for making text pertinent, effective, and persuasive. As designers, we tend to be sensitive to all aspects of the visual medium including typography but we sometimes tend to overlook just how important the font is. With services like Adobe’s Typekit, we now have access to hundreds of typefaces that we can use to our heart’s content. To pick the right fonts in our work, we need to get savvier with typography. Typography entails everything from typeface choice (including leading, tracking and kerning) and the color palette to layout and design integration. It can make or break the overall effectiveness of any communication message and directly impacts audience perception, interest and level of engagement. To deliver your message successfully, you need to choose typefaces that bridge the gap between your graphics, your text and your objective. The sense and mood of everything from an isolated word to extensive blocks of text can be effectively visually expressed through the right typeface. The reverse is also true: You might draft up the most seductive copy in the history of landing pages. But it would fail to be persuasive if it’s delivered through a 22 point bright yellow Lucida Calligraphy. It’s not that I have anything against the typefaces I mentioned even if I am admittedly pretty vocal about my dislike for them. I have just seen them abused so many times and so incessantly that I automatically find myself repulsed whenever I encounter them. It would be unfair to call these typefaces inherently bad though. They can certainly be used successfully if they are applied appropriately and effectively to generate a desired effect. It’s time we all learned that there is more to picking a typeface than choosing the first typeface, or the one that’s most frequently used, in the drop down list of your design software. Here are five good questions you should ask yourself before selecting the typefaces for your brand new website: Typography Rapid Fire: The 5 Question Process For Finding The Right Font 1. Purpose and Mood? Typefaces have personality. Do you want a typeface that is the font equivalent of a floral shirt and Bermuda shorts or a crisp business suit. Or do you want to mix and match for the various sections of the content. Remember, you can only choose the right typeface if you keep the nature of the content and target audience in mind. But since using Times time and time again (see what I did there?) gets boring and a fun new pictorial font can easily outlast its welcome, the key is to strike a balance between the trusted classics and the snazzy, stylish and novelty-laden personal favorites. Hierarchy wise, for body text, it’s always advisable to use a non-gimmicky, legible and formal typeface like Helvetica or Garamond. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of character but be wary of going overboard aka using highly characteristic display fonts (think Ravie in the image above) for extensive text. If you want the typography on your website to stand out a little from 99 of the web, try using a distinctive yet sufficiently low-key typeface that does not upstage the actual content. You can get more creative with headings, banners and text bites by using your favorite display fonts. But remember that most end-users only have a limited number of standard typefaces installed on their computers. So if you want your supercool and crazy creative typeface to show up exactly like it is on systems worldwide, convert it to a graphic or source it from a web font service. 2. Serif or Sans Serif. A quick way of organizing possible typeface choices is to use the most widely used typography categorization: serif or sans serif. They say that serif fonts provide continuity and engagement, and therefore improve readability but detractors (read: sans serif supporters) call that a typography myth. However, these broad adjectives can easily be challenged with typefaces from both categories that defy such classification. Whether you choose Serif or Sans, there are a plethora of great choices within both categories. To learn more about type classifications, start by looking up commonly used categories like geometric, humanist, old style, modern, transitional and slab serif. And you can always come up with your own groups and labels for your collection of typefaces. That way you can get more organized and easily reach out for the type of font you need. 3. Corresponding or Contrast. When two design elements are placed next to each other they only create a remarkable impact if they correspond or contrast. In the current context, this basically means that multiple typefaces should only be used together if they match (correspond) or present an engaging divergence (contrast). However, if you use two typefaces that are significantly similar yet different enough to cause confusion over whether they are the same or not, you distract the reader from what’s really important: the content. An example of this would be picking two similar typefaces from the same category- geometric or old style for instance. Of course, there’s rarely any need to use multiple typefaces if one will do. So if you are happy with how your web page looks using a single typeface, there is no need to introduce another just for the sake of it. By using different weights (Bold, Regular, Light etc.) and styles (Italics, Condensed etc.), you can have effective variation using the same typeface so it’s always useful to work with typefaces that come from a large extended type family. 4. Experiment or Fall Back. Over time, you will start building a collection of typefaces that have served you well. These could be the top 20 typefaces taken straight from FontShop’s 100 best list or they could be the result of your own personal experience. Either way, building this list is essential as you will need it in times when nothing seems to be working. There’s a reason why typefaces like Helvetica and Univers are so widely acclaimed and it has to do with how versatile, robust and reliable they are. You can use these trusted typefaces like a safety blanket: you can always return to them with peace of mind in case the cool new font you downloaded from an independent typeface designer’s site or a flashy display font double cross you and threaten to put your design in jeopardy. That’s not to say you should always play it safe. The biggest risk is not taking one and there are always opportunities for experimenting. So feel free to try out new typefaces that are versatile and reliable while adding something refreshing and individualistic to your list of favorites. But only the best designers possess the skill, knowledge and intuition to successfully utilize a new or unconventional typeface. 5. And Finally, Follow the Rules or Break Them. Sometimes, the process means nothing if the result isn’t worthy. At the end of the day, we utilize typography to effectively convey written communication. If you think that purpose is best served by using a display font across the entire website or using a variety of sans and serif typefaces in conjunction, go for it. But as you can probably tell from even the descriptions, these instances of creativity are very volatile and need to be dealt with very carefully. Only when you are knowledgeable about typography and familiar with its conventions and rules are you in a position to break the existing rules to successfully produce something new and compelling. Typography can be approached both systematically and intuitively and there are no hard and fast rules, just guidelines. But you have to know your basics before you can get innovative. I find other fonts to be beautiful, artsy or highly functional and use them abundantly but I have grown attached to Avenir. We all have a typeface or two that we use frequently and keep going back to- and I would love to hear about yours.

Whether you're creating a presentation, typing a document or redesigning your resume, you're making decisions about what fonts would look best together and in what sizes. This is because fonts matter in the overall visual impact of your design, and each communicates a very different and distinct message on its own. The first refers to a typeface with a small line attached to the end of a stroke, while the latter refers to a typeface without any stroke embellishments, like the font used in the sentence you're reading now. Why? Because, as a general rule, the more contrast between your fonts, the better. See how the differences in the anatomy of the two fonts on the right create an overall appealing design. Meanwhile, the two on the left simply don't work well together because they're too similar. For example, put Garamond and Sabon together to see what this means. Or try Helvetica and Univers together, which is also an unattractive combination. Slabs are a type of serif with thick, block-like projections at the end of letter strokes.) For instance, try combining Clarendon and Rockwell to see what happens. The combination on the left brings together a Slab with another Slab. Poor choice. There's little contrast, which makes it unappealing to the eye. The combination on the right, however, combines a Slab with a Sans Serif. This seemingly insignificant change makes a world of a difference and entices the viewer to read the text. The text on the left, for instance, uses a 24-point font for the header and an 18-point font for the body copy. There's too little contrast in size, which makes it harder for the reader to distinguish what's most important. For example, the text on the right uses a big enough header to allow the reader to quickly perceive a visual hierarchy defined by the relative difference in the scale of the typefaces used. For instance, you can try combining Didot and Rockwell; you see that they simply don't mesh well together because they both have a heavy presence. The key to achieving the right amount of contrast is to understand that fonts are a lot like people: When you mix two with a whole lot of personality or presence, then you have yourself a discordant design. But when you combine an eye-catching one with a neutral or lighter font, you find harmony. One way to do this is to assign a role to each of the fonts used throughout your document. For example, you can use the same font for article titles, another for the body intro, a third font for the body copy and so on. Don't make the mistake of pairing fonts that simply aren't meant to go together. For example, don't pair Impact and MTF Cool Kid. While Impact is bold and blocky, MTF Cool Kid is playful, simplistic and childlike. Snidely is a display font with a rough look to it, while Airstream is a decorative, retro font. Your best bet is to pair a distinct font with a more neutral one. The example on the right, however, uses the more neutral Montserrat Light, making the design much more pleasant and readable. The first creates visual harmony; the second just repels readers.You might do well, for example, with a Helvetica Black for a header and a Helvetica normal for your body. Instead of overthinking it, just stick to two--max three-combinations and, above all, keep it simple. Stick to two typefaces by using a classic sans serif and serif combination. This would potentially produce up to 8 different fonts to work with: normal, bold, italic and bold italic for each typeface. For this reason, it's important to experiment with different sizes as some font combinations can fall into place at a certain point size. In the example above, the script font Pacifico is too condensed and bold to work as body copy. As a header, however, it works just fine.
