Typography:

  1. What is Typography?
    • Typography is the art of arranging text to make it look good and easy to read, whether on paper or screens.
  2. Typeface and Font:
    • A typeface is like the style of text, such as Times New Roman or Arial.
    • A font is a specific size of a typeface, like Times Roman 16 point or Arial 12 point.
  3. On Screens:
    • In digital design, fonts are used to organize information, show importance, guide reading, and set a mood.
    • There are many font options available, and operating systems provide default fonts.
  4. User Control:
    • Users can often change fonts on their screens, but many stick to defaults.
    • Using too many different fonts or styles can make the screen confusing.
  5. Font Types and Families:
    • Simple, common fonts are best for clarity on screens.
    • Font families have styles that work well together, creating a unified design.
  6. Font Size:
    • Font sizes are measured in points (1 point = 1/12 inch).
    • Sizes should be big enough to be easily readable on standard screens.
  7. Font Styles and Weight:
    • Italics can emphasize text, but use sparingly as it might be hard to read.
    • Bold is for drawing attention, but be cautious not to make things too visually heavy.
    • Underlining is often reserved for web links to avoid confusion.
  8. Font Case:
    • Choose between uppercase (ALL CAPITAL) and mixed case (some capitalization, mostly lowercase).
    • Mixed case is often more natural and easier to read.
