SPECIFYING THE 5 TYPES

Specifying the font families.

In our studio session we looked at Type & Character, fonts and there typefaces and Legibility and Readability. We got set a task to help us understand further into font families.We had to use the five fonts we had originally picked from our university computers to analyse and specify.

The fonts i picked:-
Arial
Bauhaus
Century gothic
Neva std
Courier New

Using these five fonts i will do the following:-

• specify each full fonts typeface family
• pick the most readable typeface when presented a4 landscape
• make a note of the pt.size and use 'Quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog' because it uses all the letters in the alphabet.

Arial-

After trying each of the Arial typeface families for Arial std i came to the conclusion arial bold worked best at pt.size 80

Bauhaus-

 I found when researching the bauhaus font the typefaces were all similar apart from the thickness. I think that bauhaus 93 bold is the easiest to read.

Century gothic-

Neva std-

Courier new-

Impact- block font 

Monotype Corsiva- script

News Gothic MT-gothic 

Georgia-roman
