3. I really love your
personality
Why is this important?
Some of us have been guilty of focusing on
decoration and neglecting the details. I’m
talking about getting back to good, solid
design principles, like well-formed grids and
decent measures and incremental leading and
appropriately paired typefaces.

4. “
Web design is 95% typography...
Oliver Reichenstein
Information Architect (informationarchitect.jp)
+
This is because the web is content and content is type. Type
is an equal player in design. It doesn’t matter about your
color choices or grid if type becomes an afterthought.
Companies really do care about quality and precision.
Bonus points for an Art Director that cares about quality
and can effectively sell his visual concept.

5. Typography
is what language
looks like.
+
Most people, including some designers think
typography is about fonts. Typography is more than
that, its expressing language through type choice,
placement, composition.

6. +
When used improperly most people might not
notice it, but subconsciously they can feel that
something it wrong. If your type is bad the
design fails.

7. +
The right typeface has the power to grab
your audience on an emotional level.

8. +
It can have a lot of personality. Think about keywords
during the conceptual/research phase.
Conservative, Strong, Edgy, Exciting, Feminine,
Boring, Informal etc.

9. +
And each personality should be in relation to
your content. Typography can create or change
context as well. It can elevate a message.

Dan Mall (Big Spaceship)
He takes mathematical measurements from
typefaces to design interfaces and UI elements.

11. +
In this site he designed for Nike, you can see how he
uses the type layout has influenced the navigation.

12. Aa Aa
_
Display
_
Text
+
Every typeface has an intended usage. There are two primary
categories of types; display and text. Display goes for a
stronger personality, elaborate and more expressive shapes,
and a more stylish look. Text is designed to be legible at
smaller sizes. Usually implies fairly clean, consistent,
uncomplicated design features. For example the typeface
Chronicle will have Chronicle Regular and Chronicle Display.

Humanistic Transitional Geometric Modern - Very high contrast in the strokes.
Humanistic Sans - Characterized by presence of the hand.
Gill Sans Helvetica Futura Similar to Roman. Organic.
Transitional Sans - straight in appearance and less width
than Humanistic Sans. Also called “anonymous sans” due
to its plain appearance.
Geometric Sans - Geometric construction suggesting the
use of a compass.

16. How to choose
a typeface

17. How to choose
a typeface
1 Choose a category
+
Choose a type face that you think will match your work.
What’s the purpose? Is it a Display face or a text face? Whats
the classification? Old Style, Modern, Slab Serif, Sans Serif,
Script, Decorative? Serious look? Casual? Decorative?

18. How to choose
a typeface
1 Choose a category
2 Consider the medium
+
Where is this being shown? iPad? Web? Print? Are the
delicate serifs going to break if its too small? Is it going
to be legible?

19. How to choose
a typeface

2 Consider the medium

Whats more important?
Readability or aesthetics?

20. How to choose
a typeface
1 Choose a category
2 Consider the medium
3 How much text?
+
4 Space How much space is required? Two equally
sized fonts can have very different widths.
You should never try to fit and squeeze a
typeface within the medium. The medium
should fit the typeface.

21. Pairing typefaces

22. Pairing typefaces
DON’T mix two typefaces from the same family
I’m I’m
pretty. pretty too.
+
There is not enough variation to distinguish the two and
its sort of a pointless design decision.

23. Pairing typefaces
DON’T mix two typefaces with a strong personality.
I’m Chuck I’m Van fucking
Norris. Damme.
+
Or else the visual language starts to get noisy and chaotic.
Less is more.

24. Pairing typefaces
DO mix two typefaces with similar proportions.
x x x
+
I like to give each one a different role. There should be a
“star of the show” and a hardworking one.

25. Pairing typefaces
DO mix serif and sans under the same family.
I’m your father.
But, I’m older.
+
Check out the families of types containing serif and sans
under the same name: This is Fedra Sans and Fedra serif.
The only problem: most of these types are actually rooted
in a consensus, they are not expressing much. It's cool for
a bank report or an informative brochure, but might be
weak for a magazine.

26. How people read
Understanding how people read will help you
in making better decisions when setting type.
If a typeface is hard to read, the meaning of
the text will be lost.

27. Legibility Can you read it?
+
Legibility is “can you read it?”
Legibility refers to a reader’s ability to easily re-
cognize letterforms and the word forms built from
them. We don’t read by recognizing one letter at a
time, but by recognizing the shapes of whole words
and phrases.

28. Readability Do you want to read it?
+
Readability asks “do you want to read it?”
Readability is about the comfort with which text can
be understood. Text with good readability must also
be legible, but more legibility doesn’t make text
readable.

29. I got a dig bick.
You that read wrong.
+
People skim very quickly from one word to
the next. So any kind of hindrance will affect
your reading. They don’t want to be blown
away from the beautiful typeface. They want
You read that wrong too. to connect to the words on an emotional level.

30. times. Look at me read this super quickly. I never knew I had such sup
+
We use peripheral vision to decode whats coming up
next. We read ahead about 15 letters at a time, but only
get the meaning of that part of the span. Reading music
is similar to reading text.

31. ERSE. RIGHT THIS IS TAKING A WHILE TO READ. WHY ARE YOU SHOU
+
Uppercase is much harder to read since the letter are all
the same height and so we don’t recognize the characters
as quickly.

32. Eevn touhgh the wrosd are srcmaelbd, cahnecs are taht you can
raed tihs praagarph aynawy. The order of the ltteers in each word
is not vrey ipmrotnat. But the frsit and lsat ltteer msut be in the
rhgit psotitoin. The ohter ltetres can be all mxeid up and you can
sitll raed whtiuot a lot of porbelms. This is bceusae radenig is all
aobut atciniptanig the nxet word.
+
Most of you can read this! Fairly quick. You anticipate
what’s coming up next. The more previous knowledge
you have, the easier it is to interpret.

33. It will be colder.
+
Here I’m covering the upper half of the word.
What the hell is it?

34. It will be colder.
+
Here the bottom half is covered. But you can read it.
That’s because most of the information which defines
a character is contained in the upper half.

35. k erning
+
Kerning is the space in between two characters. Usually,
the larger the type, the tighter it needs to be kerned.
Optical kerning is set by the program and metric kerning
is set by the designer of the typeface. There’s no right
way. Kerning also needs to be adjusted if you are using
a shitty typeface.

36. tracking
+
Also called letter spacing, tracking is the space between
the characters. It’s an overall percentage across the
board, whereas kerning is between two characters.

37. I read ok but I sure could use a little bit more breathing room.
I read perfect. Boy is it good to achieve perfection, its what dreams are made of.
S h i t I g o t way o u t o f c o n t ro l . I i m m e d i a t e l y re g re t t h i s d e c i s i o n !
+
Adjust tracking accordingly to achieve readability.
Capital letters prefer a little distance from their
neighbors. Loosely space italics will looked weird since
italics are meant to be placed closely together.

38. If I get any bigger I will definitely need more
breathing room. Not only sideways but also above
and below.
I’m much much bigger now.
Good thing I have more
breathing room. I hope its easier
for you to understand me know.
+
Linespacing is also called leading. When the type-size
gets bigger, more leading is needed. Also the wider the
width of the sentence, the more leading is needed.

39. +
Another principle to think about is the width of your
copy. Notice the insanely long paragraph width here. I
don’t wanna read this! It's tiring for your eyes to follow
back and forth. Thats one way you develop fatigue.

40. +
This is much better. Keep the width of your paragraph
under 10 words (45-75 characters.) For multiple columns,
keep it between 40-50.

41. Hier
Creating
arc hy
+
Hierarchy is simply the way of organizing elements.
A typographic hierarchy organizes the content,
emphasizing some elements and de-emphasizing
others. Everything on the page cannot be important!

42. A visual hierarchy helps readers scan a text,
knowing where to enter and exit. It gives your
designs a flow.

43. I. Things to Buy Things to Buy
a. Avocado Avocado
b. Salsa (spicy) Salsa (spicy)
c. Milk Milk
d. Paper Towels Paper Towels
THINGS Avocado THINGS TO BUY
TO BUY Salsa (spicy) Avocado
Milk Salsa (spicy)
Paper Towels Milk
Paper Towels
+
Emphasizing a word or phrase within a body of text usually
requires only one signal. Italic is the standard form of
emphasis. There's also boldface, small caps, or a change
in color. There are endless ways to create emphasis.

44. THINGS TO BUY
AVOCADO
SALSA (SPICY)
MILK
PAPER TOWELS
+
So fucking wrong!

45. [-]Space
+
Every design has whitespace (negative space), but
the problem is that not every design has enough.
Its a very under-utilized element. For those who
don’t understand what whitespace is, the following
slide will give you an idea of what whitespace is.

46. +
Let your type breathe. Whitespace is simply the empty
space between and around the elements of a design or
page layout. Whitespace is made of nothing, but shouldn’t
be treated that way. Being generous with your whitespace
will speak volumes about your brand. By using large
amounts of it, you’re saying that your content is far more
important than the screen real estate that it rests on.

47. Type on mobile
Reading from a digital screen is about 25%
slower than from paper so greater care must be
placed when designing for screen to improve
reading. Here are some guidelines…

48. Large x-height
Aa Aa
+
The x-height should be at least 2/3 the height of the
capital letter. The bigger the counters, the more
legible the characters get.

49. Ample stroke contrast
Aa Aa
+
This means the font should not be too thin or too
heavy, but somewhere in between. The thin strokes
will break at lower sizes.

50. Not too narrow
MY COUNTERS ARE TINY
+
These typefaces may look great in print or on the
web when displayed in large, but they will be hard
to read when rendered so much smaller on a mobile
screen. Notice you can barely see the counters as is.

51. Don’t get fancy
I’ f 
+
Decorative fonts tend to break the above three rules

52. Distinctions
I wanna be different like
everyone else.
+
Obvious weight and style difference between
normal, bold and italic iterations. This creates
the best contrast.

53. The 9 Rules

54. My Nine Rules On Setting Type
01
Select the face.

Select a typeface appropriate for the subject matter
and consider the medium.

58. My Nine Rules On Setting Type
01 02 03

Color is also part of hierarchy. Color referring to
the visual tone of a mass of text rather than color
in the RGB sense.

A ligature are two characters joined as a single glyph.
They are created for special circumstances to prevent
overlapping between the two characters.

84. +
Theres a lot of optical tricks you have to use in type
design. To optically align all characters on a line, they
cannot not have exactly the same mathematical height.
For example the triangle on this drawing has to be higher
than the rectangle. Otherwise, the triangle will look
smaller than the rectangle. While creating a typeface,
you want all the letters to appear to have the same height.

85. +
When draw a curve think of riding a car down a curve.
It must be graceful.

86. +
The characters on the top line have a different construct-
ion than the characters on the bottom line. The contrast
is caused by changing the pressure on the pen, not
because of the form of the pen. From this perspective
there is no difference between Bodoni and Helvetica.
Both have the same construction, only the contrast varies.

87. +
Much more important than the shapes of the characters, is the
rhythm of the type. A typeface with beautiful characters which are
badly spaced is extremely hard to read. However, if the shapes of
the letters are not that good, but when they are all perfectly spaced,
the type will be fairly easy to read. The white spaces inside and in
between letters are defining the rhythm much more than the black
shapes of the letters.

88. +
Which x-height to define? Which descender depth?
Defining these proportions are essential, and very
strongly connected to the purpose of the type.
The proportions within a certain typeface influence
the way your type will work & look.

89. +
If you make a light weight and the black weight of one
typeface, you'll have to make sure that the black weight
has a bigger x-height than the light weight (top line
drawing). If this is not the case, the black weight will
look optically too small when it's combined with the light
weight in a line of text. In display faces this is not the
case. The difference should be much smaller.

90. +
Too many points (nodes) can cause technical problems -
e.g. the printer can't print the font anymore. It also makes

Controlling a curve with 2 points is much easier than
12 points.
