Each font was a matched set of type, one piece called a 'sort' for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of fonts that shared an overall design. Download Myriad Pro Regular. Buy Myriad Condensed desktop font from Adobe on Fonts.

Each style is in a separate 'font file'—for instance, the typeface 'Bulmer' may include the fonts 'Bulmer roman', 'Bulmer italic', 'Bulmer bold' and 'Bulmer extended'—but the term 'font' might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface. In both traditional typesetting and modern usage, the word 'font' refers to the delivery mechanism of the typeface design.
In traditional typesetting, the font would be made from metal or wood. Today, the font is a digital file. In a manual printing letterpress house the word 'font' would refer to a complete set of metal type that would be used to typeset an entire page.
Upper- and lowercase letters get their names because of which case the metal type was located in for manual typesetting: the more distant upper case or the closer lower case. The same distinction is also referred to with the terms majuscule and minuscule.
Unlike a digital typeface, a metal font would not include a single definition of each character, but commonly used characters such as vowels and periods would have more physical type-pieces included. A font when bought new would often be sold as for example in a Roman alphabet 12pt 14A 34a, meaning that it would be a size point font containing 14 uppercase 'A's, and 34 lowercase 'A's. The rest of the characters would be provided in quantities appropriate for the distribution of letters in that language.
Some metal type characters required in typesetting, such as dashes, spaces and line-height spacers, were not part of a specific font, but were generic pieces which could be used with any font. The reason for this spacing strip being made from 'lead' was because lead was a softer metal than the traditional forged metal type pieces which was part lead, antimony and tin and would compress more easily when 'locked-up' in the printing 'chase' i.
In the s—s, 'hot lead' typesetting was invented, in which type was cast as it was set, either piece by piece as in the Monotype technology or in entire lines of type at one time as in the Linotype technology. In addition to the character height, when using the mechanical sense of the term, there are several characteristics which may distinguish fonts, though they would also depend on the script s that the typeface supports. In European alphabetic scripts, i. Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, the main such properties are the stroke width, called weight, the style or angle and the character width.
The regular or standard font is sometimes labeled roman , both to distinguish it from bold or thin and from italic or oblique. The keyword for the default, regular case is often omitted for variants and never repeated, otherwise it would be Bulmer regular italic , Bulmer bold regular and even Bulmer regular regular.
Roman can also refer to the language coverage of a font, acting as a shorthand for 'Western European'. Different fonts of the same typeface may be used in the same work for various degrees of readability and emphasis, or in a specific design to make it be of more visual interest.
The weight of a particular font is the thickness of the character outlines relative to their height. A typeface may come in fonts of many weights, from ultra-light to extra-bold or black; four to six weights are not unusual, and a few typefaces have as many as a dozen.
Many typefaces for office, web and non-professional use come with just a normal and a bold weight which are linked together. If no bold weight is provided, many renderers browsers, word processors, graphic and DTP programs support faking a bolder font by rendering the outline a second time at an offset, or just smearing it slightly at a diagonal angle.
The base weight differs among typefaces; that means one normal font may appear bolder than some other normal font. For example, fonts intended to be used in posters are often quite bold by default while fonts for long runs of text are rather light. Therefore, weight designations in font names may differ in regard to the actual absolute stroke weight or density of glyphs in the font.
Deviants of these were the '6 series' italics , e. From this brief numerical system it is easier to determine exactly what a font's characteristics are, for instance 'Helvetica 67' HE67 translates to 'Helvetica Bold Condensed'. The first algorithmic description of fonts was perhaps made by Donald Knuth in his Metafont description language and interpreter. The TrueType font format introduced a scale from through , which is also used in CSS and OpenType, where is regular roman or plain.
There are many names used to describe the weight of a font in its name, differing among type foundries and designers, but their relative order is usually fixed, something like this:. The terms normal , regular and plain , sometimes also book , are being used for the standard weight font of a typeface.
Where both appear and differ, book is often lighter than regular , but in some typefaces it is bolder. Before the arrival of computers, each weight had to be drawn manually.
