Each font has special characteristics that makes it unique. Some differ from having serifs or be simply being flat and strait. Although these typefaces may look different they actually have many similarities. These typefaces surround our everyday lives whether it be in books, signs, television or magazines, these typefaces are involved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Century\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Century_type_family#:~:text=Century%20Schoolbook,-Century%20Schoolbook&amp;text=Century%20Schoolbook%20is%20a%20transitional,to%2Dread%20face%20for%20textbooks.&amp;text=Century%20Schoolbook%20is%20based%20on%20the%20earlier%20Century%20Roman.\">Century<\/a> typeface has been around for a very long time when it comes to talking about fonts. Century Schoolbook is a transitional serif\u00a0typeface\u00a0designed by\u00a0Morris Fuller Benton\u00a0in 1919 for the\u00a0American Type Foundation\u00a0at the request of Ginn &amp; Company, a textbook publisher, which wanted an especially easy-to-read face for textbooks. I find this font to be very clean and specific to the point. There isn&#8217;t many fancy elements to this font but it is commonly used for textbooks. I enjoy this typeface because it gives the appearance that its fancy with light strokes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Helvetica<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The first version of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/imagine-express.com\/the-history-of-helvetica\/#:~:text=The%20first%20version%20of%20Helvetica,Miedinger%2C%20a%20Swiss%20typeface%20designer.&amp;text=Miedinger%20wanted%20a%20font%20that,means%20%E2%80%9CSwiss%E2%80%9D%20in%20Latin.\">Helvetica<\/a> was created in 1957 by Max Miedinger, a Swiss typeface designer. Miedinger wanted a font that was clear to the eye and could be used in a variety of ways. It was originally called Neue Hass Grotesk. In 1960, the typeface&#8217;s name was changed to Helvetica, which means \u201cSwiss\u201d in Latin. I personally dislike this font for its boring appearance. This style of font is basic and strait with out any fancy strokes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Five Typefaces\u00a0 There are five classic typefaces, Garamond, Baskerville, Didot, Century, and Helvetica.
