15 tips to choose a good text type

Many people have asked me which text type is best for a magazine, a newspaper, a poster, a newsletter, a publication, etc. In general, I tell them which to use, but I know that this is not the best answer, because they won't learn to do this by themselves.
Today, I want to take time to analyze how to choose correct text typography design in different cases. It is very important to understand that these tips are not final word, but they can be good help at the moment of choosing a text type. In any case, it depends on what do you want to convey with this type, because many times legibility is as important as the character of the type. Try to be very careful and take in account the following points:




1. The Letterform
The ‘ductus’ represents the framework of a type. It is very important. For legible text we need typographies with a simple ductus without complex details. Those details distract from the reading process and we need the reader to pay attention to the content and not the text.




2. The Weight
When we discuss the ‘weight’ of a type, we refer to a consistent relationship between the characters themselves, and the light of the page that flows around them. If you use a light version of a type for a lot of text, reading of this text will probably become tiring and nobody will want to read it.



3. The Contrast
The contrast refers to the thickness difference between vertical and horizontal strokes. The difference between the thicker and the thinner part of the character. Bodoni and Didot are very contrasted type designs. Try to read the photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of text layed out in Bodoni. You will probably see only vertical strokes. Good type design should be able to resist a lot of copies. It must be strong, solid, but not coarse.




4. The axis
In my view, the axis of a type design could affect reading. Vertical strokes prevail in a text type and if the axis is diagonal, the eye will have trouble following that line of text. If the type uses more than one axis, a line of text will appear as if dancing which makes is harder to read. If we use an orthogonal axis, the characters can't dance.




5. x height
The area between baseline and x height contains most of the readable information (75% of the lower case letters). It is a very important area at the moment of reading text. Long ascenders and descenders require a small x hight. If we compare two types of designs, one with long ascenders and the other with short ascenders, we can see that the x height of the second one will be larger, so it will obviously be more legible. Look up for the difference between Times New Roman and Mrs. Eaves.



6. Capital letters height
Older typefaces designs consider the same height for the ascenders and the capital letters. In any cases capitals are bigger… But the appearance of a word in upper case between lower caps is usually ugly. When I write the word ‘Garamond’ I feel the ‘G’ as a dinosaur and the ‘a’ as its prey…


7. Endings and details
When we use a font in a big size (for example in a poster), we enlarge everything. All the small details of the type design become evident, as well as the mistakes. A lot of typographies are badly drawn. As designers, we should not accept this.



8. Text and texture
A block of text looks like a texture from a distance. This texture must be uniform, without thicker characters or spots that could attract the attention.



9. Degree of the Counter Opening
In many type designs, the counters are too closed. It could cause legibility problems, because somebody could read 'o' instead of an 'c'. So, if the internal counter is too opened (as in Frutiger), it will start to mingle with the external counter, generating a lot of white (and it looks ugly).




10. The Fish Effect
This effect becomes evident when the internal counter is bigger than the space between characters. It looks very strange where round and straight characters join.



11. External counter
There are small details that make a text type design more legible. A carefully designed external counter leads to better text understanding. Think about the connection between the vertical stroke of the ‘n’ and its curve, or the difference between ‘rn’ and ‘m’.



12. Internal counter
A small eye in an ‘a’ or an ‘e’ character will probably disappear, especially in small type sizes. These are the most used characters in most of the languages, that is why this becomes a very big problem.




13. Is the set complete?
How many times do we note that the font we are using lacks a character? It always happens when our design is almost finished. Terrible! We must change the type and check out the complete text again. Many type designers don't design some characters such as ñ, written accents, tildes, points, commas or numbers… It is better to check the font out before using it.




14. The family
It is important to verify that the type family is plentiful, with variations in weight, black, whites and italics… Check out that the italic is as legible as the regular version. Sometimes they have a lot of rococo details.




15. Letter spacing
There are fonts with bad or non-existent letter spacing and obviously, they don't work well. A good designer will try to correct the letter spacing that he (she) considers bad, but it is too much work when all the spacing looks bad… There are software packages that can help, but it is not the same as good typographer work. Try to use fonts with correct letter spacing and metrics…

I really enjoyed how you analyzed the typeface and pointed out systematic approaches to finding a pleasant typeface.

Another consideration that must be taken into account is the proper usage of faces when setting a longs blocks of type. Choosing the proper size and leading and line length are also very important and vary depending on the face. One could very easily choose a pleasant looking typeface but use it in a very unpleasing way.

However, I must agree with you that often times people select some very poor typefaces to use.

There is an important element missing.

If you are selecting a typeface for the text portion of a web page, you must be aware of two key elements: (1) many browsers allow the user to tinker with the font size; (2)it is the user, not the web designer, who chooses the screen resolution.

Therefore, you need a typeface which will not only cover up your own mistakes, but your readers' as well! A good test is to take your short list and shrink them all down as small as you reasonably can to see which of the typefaces can withstand the most compression and retain perfect legibility.

Or, you can skip all the verbosity and just use Verdana.

I agree with many of the posts here - it's an excellent review of the typographic basics; perhaps something we all need to remind ourselves with occasionally.

Also, as someone struggling with a second language, I cannot believe how narrow-minded and petty some people are concerning typos. Anonymity sure seems to make heros of them all (in their minds, that is). Isn't this another example of "shooting the messenger" and ignoring the message?

I'm afraid that this article didn't really illuminate anything for me. The definitions of those aspects of the fonts are nice, but how do you apply this in different situations to choose an appropriate font? Based on your criteria there would seem to simply be one "best" font overall in terms of readability... simple, bold, high contrast... Ok... So why are there 1000 different fonts that people use? What do they convey and "feel" like... how should you mix them? Are there groups of fonts that go well together?, etc... That's what I'd like to know.

Thanks a mill for this intro to Typography. La verdad, todos necesitamos a few classes para aprender y manipular mejor this medium.

When dealing with web and type tenemos que tener en cuenta cuales son the fonts that come as default en los different systems.

Pero for graphics and design, podemos utilizar cualquier fuente que queramos. Asi que using Verdana, o Garamond would be like asking rebrant to use una brocha gorda.

#5 is not properly demonstrate.

x height is actually the x height, this is not what you are showing.

instead of showing "fop" you should have showed "fxp" where the red lines are at the bottom and top of the x.

x height does not apply to capital X.

Both fonts have the same height, but the second have a bigger x height.

Possibly one of the most dis-passionate typographic analysis' I've read (apart from more technically led typographic anatomy discussions ie 'what does x-height mean' etc). It's odd that you have written about a topic in such an un-emotional manner when choosing a particular typeface effects the way someone will feel when reading whatever you have typeset. Typography is a lot more exciting than this.

Your assertion that small X-heights are good is wrong. While 75% of letter forms may in fact be in the same region as lower case, that isn't what makes things easily readable.

Try printing out a sentence and covering up the center 50% of the words (vertcally). A good font, with proper x-height, means you can still read it. That lends it to be read very quickly. Improper or too-short x-heights drastically affect reading speed, particularly for those with vision problems (cateracts, etc can cause dramatic vision loss in the center of focus, so they will only see the tops/bottoms and ascenders/descenders of letters).

This is particularly true for large text or text intended to be read at distances. It is also why the US Government is moving away from ALL CAPITALS on road signs as changing them over to proper upper and lower case lettering. The human eye recognizes the shape of a much faster than it can parse individual letters and assemble the world.

Also, you left out a very important point for proper typography and readability: ligatures.

I intended to send you this little bit of observation just to thank you over again on your breathtaking methods you have discussed on this page. It's really strangely open-handed of people like you to provide easily what a lot of people could possibly have sold for an e-book to end up making some profit for themselves, certainly considering that you might well have tried it in case you considered necessary. Those tactics as well served to be the good way to understand that someone else have similar dreams the same as my personal own to know great deal more in respect of this matter. I think there are millions of more enjoyable times up front for individuals that read through your blog post.

Ground transportation fuel is normally gasoline or diesel. Both come from petroleum. Production of gasoline is achieved by distillation of crude oil. The desirable liquid is separated from the crude oil in refineries. To create gasoline, petroleum must first be removed from crude oil.

It's another factor that must be taken into account, the proper usage of faces. Choosing the proper size and leading and line length are also very important and vary depending on the face. One could very easily choose a pleasant looking typeface but use it in a very unpleasing way like Lady Gaga

Maybe someone has done this type of thing before, but I think it would be great if word processors had a series of adjectives to describe the fonts rather than just listing. They could be grouped together by similarity.

The first anonymous needs to shut up, for he does not use "e.g." properly, so he does not use English properly.
Another consideration that must be taken into account is the proper usage of faces when setting a longs blocks of type. Choosing the proper size and leading and line length are also very important and vary depending on the face. One could very easily choose a pleasant looking typeface but use it in a very unpleasing way.
