Presentation by Ray Atnip

Identify special typographic features Small caps, initial caps Oldstyle figures, em dash, en dash, and

hyphen Ornaments, picture fonts Ligatures and swashes

Determine appropriate use of each in a text design

Not all typefaces are created equal What’s in a typeface?

ABC abc 123 !@#

Expert Sets may include: Small Caps Oldstyle Figures Titling Caps Ligatures Swash Characters Em dashes Ornaments

Capital letters Size of lowercase letters

Design choice Titles Paragraph first line Acronyms (FBI, ABC,

SLO) AM and PM

Avoid faking SMALL CAPS Not easier to read than

ALL CAPS

Large, ornate letters at the beginning of the first paragraph

Guide reader to start point Baseline of initial

cap aligns with one baseline of text

Use sparingly

Lining figures are standard-sized numbers (at left) Look too large when placed in paragraph of text

Oldstyle figures have ascenders and descenders Fit in paragraph like lowercase letters

Hyphen Breaks a word at the

end of the line En Dash

Indicates duration Does not get a space

on either side of it Em Dash

Sets off a phrase More emphatic than a

comma No space before or

after

Decorations Set text apart Use in a row to create

a border Easy to use — Font

Resize or adjust spacing

Use as bullet in list Corner pieces to

suggest frame Easy to over-use

Pictures that act like fonts Use in many ways

Logos Icons Symbols

Can be fun or serious Use like ornaments

and dingbats Can be easy to

over-useEF Ethno Fonthttp://www.identifont.com/similar?6CN

Single characters that combine 2 or more characters f + i or f + l –

common Problem – 2

characters run into each other but look wrong moved farther apart

It is what it sounds like Adds interest Can add elegance

Difficult to read if over-used Titles only, not text Not every letter

Add to empty space only Can create balance

Expert Sets of typeface include more than alpha-numeric characters

Using extra characters can improve the look of text, make it look more stylish or professional

Changing the shape of characters can add interest or style

Using any of these methods too much or incorrectly can spoil the whole piece

Alter characters in order to add interest or style to text or make it more readable and legible

Develop methods to choose a typeface that is appropriate to the project

Make adjustments to text spacing and characteristics to improve design aesthetics, readability, and legibility

Nodes Adding, deleting, moving Changing node characteristics Using node handles

What To Do If Your Design Is DoneHelp others with their designsWork on notebookCreate another designDo homework

“I want you to make a metal sign for my business.”

Ask questions to find out what the typeface needs to do for readers

Try out different typefaces, research online, look at similar projects for ideas

Modify letters to make a standard text look special
