	Typeface
		In typography, a typeface is a co-ordinated set of letter designs, making a complete alphabet, and generally intended to be made into a font for printing or use on a computer display.
		In digital fonts, the image of each character may be encoded either as a bitmap (in a bitmap font) or by a higher-level description in terms of lines and curves enclosing space (an outline font, also called "vector font").
		A Gothic typeface was thus also carved by Johannes Gutenberg when he printed his 42-line Bible, including a large number of ligatures[?] and common abbreviations.

	Rockwell (typeface) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rockwell is a serif typeface belonging to the classification slab serif, or egyptian, where the serifs are unbracketed and similar in weight to the horizontal strokes of the letters.
		Rockwell is geometric, its upper- and lowercase O more of a circle than an ellipse.
		The lowercase a is two-story, somewhat incongruous for a geometrically drawn typeface.

	3M Meeting Network - 10 Tips for using type
		Modern typefaces, like Bodoni, can project an elegant image but are often difficult to read because of their combination of low x-height, thin strokes and delicate serifs.
		Slab serif typefaces can be extremely legible because of their strong, sturdy serifs as well as their relatively uniform stroke thickness which helps them hold up well when projected.
		Although typefaces with strong personalities, like those that resemble fancy handwriting or trendy ones that resemble MTV ads, may project an elegant or with-it image, it is often difficult to read more than a few words set in them, as Figure 9 shows.

	Frequently Asked Questions About Fonts - Typeface Protection
		The main question of typeface protection is: ``Is there anything there worth protecting?'' To that the answer must certainly be: ``Yes.'' Typeface designs are a form of artistic and intellectual property.'' To understand this better, it is helpful to look at who designs type, and what the task requires.
		Although comparisons with other media can only be approximate, a typeface family is an accomplishment on the order of a novel, a feature film screenplay, a computer language design and implementation, a major musical composition, a monumental sculpture, or other artistic or technical endeavors that consume a year or more of intensive creative effort.
		The reluctance of Americans to press for typeface copyright may have been influenced by a feeling that typeface plagiarism was good for U.S. high-tech businesses who were inventing new technologies for printing, and plagiarizing types of foreign origin (Europe and England).

		The term fount has been used for centuries to refer to the contemporary technological device used to print in a particular size and typeface (though in phototype and digital type, it need no longer refer to a specific size).
		Virtually all founts were cast in various lead alloys from the 1450s until the middle of the 20th century.
		The latter is for the purpose of anti-aliasing and is not suitable for use in images with transparent background, except when partial transparency is applied.

	The Thrill of it All \| Metropolis Magazine
		If you were expecting David Rockwell’s new book, in collaboration with Bruce Mau, to be a design manifesto, a sprawling treatise packed with ideas and observations, or even simply a monograph on the architect’s numerous Broadway theater sets, boutique hotels, and interiors for Manhattan’s most fabulous restaurants, Spectacle is not that kind of undertaking.
		This volume is not likely to change that reputation, but what it does offer is an optimistic visual survey of large-scale events in public spaces, premised on the notion that—contrary to one of the oldest and most venerated Western traditions—spectacles are not primarily superficial or manipulative phenomena.
		Instead, as Rockwell says in the introductory interview, they are loaded with magical possibilities that connect people, create communities, and produce heightened states of experience.

		Nine other flowers follow; for the grand finale, the riddle is addressed to a "little boy," and the subject, a sunflower, stands tall across the spread when the book is held sideways.
		Using silk screens painted with watercolor and gouache, Rockwell creates elegant stylized shapes that efficiently and memorably communicate each flower's architecture to young eyes; at the same time, she's able to convey the softness of a petal and the radiant layers of color that exist in a single blossom.
		She underscores the simple beauty of her paintings with a stunning book design that plays down its own sophistication: ornamental capitals subtly accentuate the flower and insect compositions; the white ground is in perfect balance with the fields of gorgeously chosen color.
