Uppercase numerals
Also called lining figures, these numerals are the same height as uppercase letters and are all set to the same kerning width They are most successfully used with tabular material or in any situaion that calls for uppercase letters.
Also called old style figures or text figures, these numerals are set to
x-height with ascenders and descenders. They are best used wherever you
would use upper- and lowercase letterforms. Lowercase numerals are far
less common insane serif than in serif typefaces.
Italic
Most fonts today are produced with a matching italic small cap, however, are almost always only roman. As with small caps, artificially generated italics are not the Sameas real italics.
Note the difference below between a true' italic and what is called an' oblique! The forms in a true italic refer back to 15th-century ltaliancursive handwriting. Obliques are typically based on the roman form of the typeface. Contemporary typefaces often blur the distinction between italic and oblique, but you should be aware of the differences.
Punctuation, miscellaneous characters
Although all fonts contain standard punctuation marks, miscellaneous characters can change from typeface to typeface. lt's important to be acquainted with all the characters available in a typeface before you choose the appropriate type for a particular job.
Dingbats
Various symbols and ornaments that are intended for use with type are called dingbats The majority ofdingbats are marketed as their own fonts and not in conjunction with any particular typeface.
Once you can recognize the parts of the letterform, you can apply what you know to identify different typefaces Beyond the characteristic gestures of a typeface, however, there are also style applications that you should recognize, keep in mind that some, all, or combinations of these styles may be found within one type family.
Roman
The basic letterform style, so called because the uppercase forms are derived from inscriptions on Roman monuments. When used to describe a type style, the term 'roman' is always lowercase. In some typefaces, a slightly lighter stroke than roman is called book
Italic
Named for 15th-century Laliah and writing on which the forms were based. (See page 6 for a description of oblique)
Boldface
Characterized by a thicker Stroke than the roman form. Depending upon the relative stroke widths within the typeface, it can also becalled 'semibold’ medium, black extra bold’ or 'super' in some type-faces (notably Bodoni), the boldest rendition of the typeface is referred to as 'poster '.
A lighter stroke than the roman form. Even lighter strokes are often called thin'.
Condensed
As the name suggests, a condensed version of the roman form. Extremely condensed styles are often called 'compressed'.
Exactly what you would think. An extended variation on the roman forms.
The confusion of styles within fami-lies of typefaces may seem daunting to the novice; it certainly remains a small nuisance even to the experienced designer The only way to deal with the profusion of names-like learning irregular verbs in French一ismemorization. See page 44 for Adrian Frutiger's attempt to resolve the naming problem.
