Answer the following:
Why is choosing and using the right font important? So that people
won’t read the wrong message
What are the two most important things to remember? 1.Type
is on the page to serve the text. It should make the words easy to read and
provide a suitable background. 2. There
are no good and bad typefaces, there are appropriate and inappropriate
typefaces.
What is appropriate? What do you have to consider?
1. If your business is one that needs to be taken seriously,
such as banking, don't choose a whimsical typeface such as University Roman or
you'll lose credibility.
2. With that in mind, we get to the key to choosing the best
typeface for the job.
Tell me the rules: (there
are 10)
11.
Body text should be between 10 and 12 point,
with 11 point best for printing to 300 dot-per-inch printers. Use the same
typeface, type size, and leading for all your body copy.
22.
Use enough leading (or line-spacing). Always add
at least 1 or 2 points to the type size. Example: If you're using 10 point
type, use 12 point leading. Automatic line height will do this for you--never
use less than this or your text will be cramped and hard to read.
33.
Don't make your lines too short or too long.
Optimum size: Over 30 characters and under 70 characters.
44.
Make paragraph beginnings clear. Use either an
indent or block style for paragraphs. Don't use both. Don't use neither,
either.
55.
Use only one space after a period, not two.
66.
Don't justify text unless you have to. If you
justify text you must use hyphenation.
77.
Don't underline anything, especially not
headlines or subheads since lines separate them from the text with which they
belong.
88.
Use italics instead of underlines.
99.
Don't set long blocks of text in italics, bold,
or all caps because they're harder to read.
110.
Leave more space above headlines and subheads
than below them, and avoid setting them in all caps. Use subheads liberally to
help readers find what they're looking for.
