fonts

Tag details

Fonts are digital typefaces used on a computer. Although traditionally a font means one weight or subset of a typeface, in contemporary digital terms it usually refers to the entire typeface. Fonts carry the outlines of all of the characters of a typeface for reproduction using a computer printer. They are most commonly available in TrueType, OpenType, or PostScript format. A very large variety of computer fonts are available today. At least 70,000 have been cataloged from many different font design houses called "foundries," in a reference to the historical manufacture of typefaces from cast metal.

The most popular fonts in current usage are probably Helvetica or one of its many variations, and Times Roman in its many forms.

Modern digital typefaces are available online from sites like Monotype, Fontcraft, and MyFonts, which is a distributor for multiple design houses.
