Fonts

"In typography, a typeface (also known as font family) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features."

- Wikipedia

"A typeface is a set of characters of the same design. These characters include letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols. Some popular typefaces include Arial, Helvetica, Times, and Verdana.

While most computers come with a few dozen typefaces installed, there are thousands of typefaces available. Because they are vector-based (not bitmaps), typefaces can be scaled very large and still look sharp. The term "typeface" is often confused with "font," which is a specific size and style of a typeface. For example, Verdana is a typeface, while Verdana 10 pt bold is a font. It's a small difference, but is good to know."

Typefaces and Me

Typefaces has become more and more important tool for me in my everyday life. When I was younger just learning to use microsoft word for school projects and presentations, fonts, colors, their sizes and forms were just fun way to make the presentation to look more vibrant. It would take me good half an hour to make a headline while trying to decide how to make it look just right. Then it was just to impress the classmates with my word skills. Nowadays it can take me just as long to find the right fonts and looks for the headline and for presentation since I have a message I want to send, not just with my words, but the looks of them. I need make my text look professional, but also take the customer in consideration. I have to make sure my choices represent me and my perspective but also respects the task that I have been given. Â
