The font designs are limited to the source that the user has installed on your machine. This problem seems to be solved (Sifra), although not yet well developed, it will be a huge step to have more control over our designs (although this is subject for another post). Now we are putting these texts as images, according to this study and the sources used are:
* SWISS, HELVETICA NUE, ARIAL: perhaps the most famous typeface. Created by Max Miedinger under commissioning Edouard Hoffmann of Smelter Hass, who wanted to modernize the typography Haas Grotesk.
Due to the large number of variations, in 1983, the foundry Stempel and Linotype re Neue Helvetica providing a collection of weights and widths consistent with a more current design. It is a font with high legibility and effectiveness. This has led to big companies like American Airlines, Lufthansa and Toyota have incorporated into their logos.
Many consider the Arial as a cheap copy of Helvetica, the font Arial was designed to form part of the “Windows 3.1″ and from there his popularity.
Verdana *: Designed in 1994 by Matthew Carter for the Microsoft company, to be a source to be viewed on web pages and read small sizes.
* GEORGIA: Designed by Matthew Carter in 1996 for the Internet, has many similarities with Times New Roman, but substantially better. It is a source that works well in small sizes and large, and is often chosen in web design as the replacement for the Times.
* Trebuchet MS: created by Vincent Connare of Microsoft in 1996. It is a source that gives very good result for headers and now widely used in many h1 tag in the blog.
* CENTURY GOTICO: designed by Monotype is a serif typeface without geometry, with a style similar to the Futura and its use is recommended to owners, and small blocks of text to be used in school books and children.
* Lucida SANS UNICODE: Lucida Grande is the font that is used throughout the Mac OS, while Lucida Sans Unicode is a font from Windows.
* PALATINO: one of the most admired and used typefaces of Hermann Zapf. Was designed in 1948 based on the classic forms of the Italian Renaissance. It was designed for larger sizes.
* Garamond, Baskerville, CASLON These are the oldest sources of the list, dating from 1540, however, the modern version of this type was popularized by Apple and used in the Lord of the Rings.
* BAKERVILLE: designed by John Baskerville in 1757 with the intention of improving the readability of the font Caslon.
* University: often confused with Helvetica, was designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1956, famous for its unique classification system font. This font is very legible at great distances, why it was chosen by the Swiss International Air Lines and Deutsch Bank.
* MYRIAN: Designed specifically for Adobe Systems in the early nineties. Since 2002 it has become the source of corporate business applications, replacing Apple Garamond. It is a source that works well for both print and web.
* ROCKWELL: strong and smooth appearance makes it a particularly flexible alphabet, valid certificates, posters and even short text blocks.
Warnock *: take the name of John Warnock, co-founder of Adobe Systems Inc. soon became one of the main types used in the design of the twenty-first century. Is included in Adobe CS.
* DIN: Deutsche Industrie Norm “translated as the standard of German Industry, which was designed in 1995 by a Dutch designer in Hamburg. It is a modern source with many variants.
* Gotham: another typeface designed in the twenty-first century, geometric shapes and a high altitude make it extremely readable in small sizes.
* Frutigen: another typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger, this time was created specifically for the newly built Charles De Gaulle International Airport in 1968, it took 7 years to complete its design. Currently the font of the best-selling Linotype foundry.
* DAX: one of the newest typefaces of the XXI century. Became very popular in advertising and marketing. Used by major brands such as UPS.
This is not all, but perhaps the most used, which does not mean they are the best. I particularly need a font that I like and I’ve used in all advertising campaigns Muchoviaje, and I have also seen recently in many TV ads, is called “Chalet” and it is very nice ad.
