How much flexibility should a typeface have? Most display faces are just a single version, and a regular text face 'family' will have at least four variations – roman, italic, bold, bold italic. Click on a segment of the chart to find which typefaces belong to that group. Contrast with sizes 2. |
Larger families that include semi-bolds, light, black, condensed, and expanded versions of the same design are extra useful for typesetting. Megafamilies and designs that have serif and sans serif versions are a relatively recent development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
