Required Arabic ligatureThe relative complexity of these shaping transformations requiresadditional data within the font.Sets of font faces with various stylistic variations are often groupedtogether into font families. In the simplest case a regular face issupplemented with bold and italic faces, but much more extensive groupingsare possible.

Variations in the thickness of letterform strokes, the weight, and the overall proportions of the letterform, thewidth, are most common. In the example below, eachletter uses a different font face within the Univers font family. Thewidth used increases from top to bottom and the weight increases from leftto right. Weight and width variations within a single font familyCreating fonts that support multiple scripts is a difficult task;designers need to understand the cultural traditions surrounding the useof type in different scripts and come up with letterforms that somehowshare a common theme. Many languages often share a common script and eachof these languages may have noticeable stylistic differences.

For example,the Arabic script, when used for Persian and Urdu, exhibits significantand systematic differences in letterforms, as does Cyrillic when used withlanguages such as Serbian and Russian.The of a fontdefines the mapping of characters to glyphs for that font. If a documentcontains characters not supported by the of the fonts contained in afont family list, a user agent may use a procedureto locate an appropriate font that does. If no appropriate font can befound, some form of 'missing glyph' character will be rendered by the useragent. System fallback can occur when the specified list of font familiesdoes not include a font that supports a given character.Although the of afont maps a given character to a glyph for that character, modern fonttechnologies such as OpenType and AAT (Apple AdvancedTypography) provide ways ofmapping a character to different glyphs based upon feature settings. Fontsin these formats allow these features to be embedded in the font itselfand controlled by applications.

Common typographic features which can bespecified this way include ligatures, swashes, contextual alternates,proportional and tabular figures, and automatic fractions, to list just afew. For a visual overview of OpenType features, see the.3. Basic Font PropertiesThe particular font face used to render a character is determined by thefont family and other font properties that apply to a given element.

Thisstructure allows settings to be varied independent of each other. Font family: the property Name:font-family Value: #Initial:depends on user agentApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:as specifiedAnimatable:noThis property specifies a prioritized list of font family names orgeneric family names. A font family defines a set of faces that vary inweight, width or slope. CSS uses the combination of a family name withother style attributes to select an individual face. Using this selectionmechanism, rather than selecting a face via the style name as is oftendone in design applications, allows some degree of regularity in textualdisplay when fallback occurs.Designers should note that the CSS definition of fontattributes used for selection are explicitly not intended to define a fonttaxonomy. A type designer's idea of a family may often extend to a set offaces that vary along axes other than just the standard axes of weight,width and slope.

A family may extend to include both a set of serif facesand a set of sans-serif faces or vary along axes that are unique to thatfamily. The CSS font selection mechanism merely provides a way todetermine the “closest” substitute when substitution is necessary.Unlike other CSS properties, component values are a comma-separated listindicating alternatives.

A user agent iterates through the list of familynames until it matches an available font that contains a glyph for thecharacter to be rendered. This allows for differences in available fontsacross platforms and for differences in the range of characters supportedby individual fonts.A font family name only specifies a name given to a set of font faces,it does not specify an individual face.

For example, given theavailability of the fonts below, Futura would match but Futura Mediumwould not. Localized family namesThe details of localized font family name matching and the correspondingissues of case sensitivity are described below in the section.3.1.1. Generic fontfamiliesAll five generic font families must always result in at least onematched font face, for all CSS implementations. However, the generics maybe composite faces (with different typefaces based on such things as theUnicode range of the character, the language of the containing element,user preferences and system settings, among others). They are also notguaranteed to always be different from each other.User agents should provide reasonable default choices for the genericfont families, which express the characteristics of each family as well aspossible, within the limits allowed by the underlying technology. Useragents are encouraged to allow users to select alternative choices for thegeneric fonts.Serif fonts represent the formal text style for a script. This oftenmeans but is not limited to glyphs that have finishing strokes, flared ortapering ends, or have actual serifed endings (including slab serifs).Serif fonts are typically proportionately-spaced.

They often display agreater variation between thick and thin strokes than fonts from the ‘’ genericfont family. CSS uses the term ‘’ to apply to a font for any script,although other names may be more familiar for particular scripts, such asMincho (Japanese), Sung or Song (Chinese), Batang (Korean). For Arabic,the Naskh style would correspond to ‘’ more due to its typographic role ratherthan its actual design style. Any font that is so described may be used torepresent the generic ‘’ family. Sample serif fontsGlyphs in sans-serif fonts, as the term is used in CSS, are generallylow contrast (vertical and horizontal stems have the close to the samethickness) and have stroke endings that are plain — without any flaring,cross stroke, or other ornamentation. Sans-serif fonts are typicallyproportionately-spaced.

They often have little variation between thick andthin strokes, compared to fonts from the ‘’ family. CSS uses the term ‘’ to applyto a font for any script, although other names may be more familiar forparticular scripts, such as Gothic (Japanese), Hei (Chinese), or Gulim(Korean).

Any font that is so described may be used to represent thegeneric ‘’ family. Sample monospace fonts3.2.

Font weight: the property Name:font-weight Value: Initial:normalApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:numeric weight value (see description)Animatable:asThe property specifies the weight ofglyphs in the font, their degree of blackness or stroke thickness.Values have the following meanings:100to 900 These values form an ordered sequence, where each number indicates aweight that is at least as dark as its predecessor. Weight mappings for a font family with 300 and 600 weightfacesAlthough the practice is not well-loved by typographers, bold faces areoften synthesized by user agents for faces that lack actual bold faces.For the purposes of style matching, these faces must be treated as if theyexist within the family. Authors can explicitly avoid this behavior byusing the ‘’ property.Specified values of ‘’ and ‘’ indicate weights relative to theweight of the parent element.

The computed weight is calculated based onthe inherited value using the chart below.Inherited valuebolderlighter0The table above is equivalent to selecting the next relative bolder orlighter face, given a font family containing normal and bold faces alongwith a thin and a heavy face. Authors who desire finer control over theexact weight values used for a given element may use numerical valuesinstead of relative weights. Font width: the property Name:font-stretch Value: Initial:normalApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:as specifiedAnimatable:asThe property selects a normal,condensed, or expanded face from a font family. Absolute keyword valueshave the following ordering, from narrowest to widest:. ultra-condensed. extra-condensed.

condensed. semi-condensed. normal.

semi-expanded. expanded. extra-expanded. ultra-expandedWhen a face does not exist for a given width, normal or condensed valuesmap to a narrower face, otherwise a wider face. Conversely, expandedvalues map to a wider face, otherwise a narrower face. The figure belowshows how the nine font-stretch property settings affect font selectionfor font family containing a variety of widths, grey indicates a width forwhich no face exists and a different width is substituted.

Width mappings for a font family with condensed, normaland expanded width facesAnimation of font stretch: Font stretch isinterpolated in discrete steps. The interpolation happens as though theordered values are equally spaced real numbers. The interpolation resultis rounded to the nearest value, with values exactly halfway between twovalues rounded towards the later value in the list above. Font style: the property Name:font-style Value: Initial:normalApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:as specifiedAnimatable:noThe property allows italic or obliquefaces to be selected. Italic forms are generally cursive in nature whileoblique faces are typically sloped versions of the regular face.

Obliquefaces can be simulated by artificially sloping the glyphs of the regularface. Compare the artificially sloped renderings of Palatino ‘ a’ and Baskerville ‘ N’ in grey with the actual italic versions. Artificial sloping versus real italicsValues have the following meanings:normal selects a face that is classified as a normal face, one that isneither italic or obliqueditalic selects a font that is labeled as an italic face, or an oblique faceif one is notoblique selects a font that is labeled as an oblique face, or an italic faceif one is notIf no italic or oblique face is available, oblique faces can besynthesized by rendering non-obliqued faces with an artificial obliquingoperation.

The use of these artificially obliqued faces can be disabledusing the ‘’ property. The details of theobliquing operation are not explicitly defined.Authors should also be aware that synthesized approaches maynot be suitable for scripts like Cyrillic, where italic forms are verydifferent in shape. It is always better to use an actual italic fontrather than rely on a synthetic version.Many scripts lack the tradition of mixing a cursive form within textrendered with a normal face. Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts almostalways lack italic or oblique faces. Fonts that support a mixture ofscripts will sometimes omit specific scripts such as Arabic from the setof glyphs supported in the italic face. User agents should be carefulabout makingassumptions across faces when implementing support for.

Font size: the property Name:font-size Value: Initial:mediumApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:refer to parent element's font sizeMedia:visualComputed value:absolute lengthAnimatable:asThis property indicates the desired height of glyphs from the font. Forscalable fonts, the font-size is a scale factor applied to the EM unit ofthe font. (Note that certain glyphs may bleed outside their EM box.) Fornon-scalable fonts, the font-size is converted into absolute units andmatched against the declared ‘’ of the font, using the sameabsolute coordinate space for both of the matched values. Values have thefollowing meanings: An keywordrefers to an entry in a table of font sizes computed and kept by the useragent. Possible values are: xx-small x-small small medium large x-large xx-large Akeyword is interpreted relative to the table of font sizes and thecomputed ‘’ of the parent element. Possiblevalues are: larger smaller For example, if the parent element has a font size of ‘ medium’, a value of ‘ larger’ will make the font size of the currentelement be ‘ large’.

If the parentelement's size is not close to a table entry, the user agent is free tointerpolate between table entries or round off to the closest one. Theuser agent may have to extrapolate table values if the numerical valuegoes beyond the keywords.A length valuespecifies an absolute font size(independent of the user agent's font table). Negative lengths areinvalid.A percentage value specifies an absolute font size relative to theparent element's font size. Use of percentage values, or values in s,leads to more robust and cascadable style sheets. Negative percentagesare invalid.The following table provides user agent guidelines for the absolute-sizescaling factor and their mapping to HTML heading and absolute font-sizes.The ‘ medium’ value is used as thereference middle value.

The user agent may fine-tune these values fordifferent fonts or different types of display devices.CSS absolute-size valuesxx-small x-small small medium large x-large xx-large scaling factor3/53/48/916/53/22/13/1HTML headingsh6h5h4h3h2h1HTML font sizes1234567Note 1. To preserve readability, an UAapplying these guidelines should nevertheless avoid creating font-sizeresulting in less than 9 device pixels per EM unit on a computerdisplay.Note 2. In CSS1, the suggested scalingfactor between adjacent indexes was 1.5 which user experience proved to betoo large. In CSS2, the suggested scaling factor for computer screenbetween adjacent indexes was 1.2 which still created issues for the smallsizes. The new scaling factor varies between each index to provide abetter readability.The actual value of this property may differ from the computed value duea numerical value on ‘’ and the unavailability ofcertain font sizes.Child elements inherit the computed value (otherwise, the effectof would compound).

Text with and without the use of ‘’This property allows authors to specify an for an element that willeffectively preserve the x-height of the first choice font, whether it issubstituted or not. Values have the following meanings:none Do not preserve the font's x-height. Specifies the used inthe calculation below to calculate the adjusted font size:c = ( a / a' ) swhere:s = font-size valuea = as specified by the 'font-size-adjust' propertya' = of actual fontc = adjusted font-size to useNegative values are invalid.This value applies to any font that is selected but in typical usageit should be based on the of the first font in the font-family list. If this isspecified accurately, the (a/a') term in the formula above iseffectively 1 for the first font and no adjustment occurs. If the valueis specified inaccurately, text rendered using the first font in thefamily list will display differently in older user agents that don'tsupport ‘’.The value of ‘’ affects the used value of‘’ but does not affect the computedvalue. It affects the size of relative units that are based on fontmetrics of the such as ex and ch but does notaffect the size of em units.

Since numeric values of refer to the computed size of‘’, ‘’ does not affect the usedvalue of.In CSS, authors often specify as a multiple of the ‘’.Since the ‘’ property affects the usedvalue of ‘’, authors should take care settingthe line height when ‘’ is used. Setting the lineheight too tightly can result in overlapping lines of text in thissituation.Authors can calculate the for a given font by comparing spans with the same contentbut different ‘’ properties. If the samefont-size is used, the spans will match when the ‘’ value is accurate for thegiven font.

See the section on formore complete details of the process used to select a particular facewithin a font family.4.5. Character range:the descriptor Name:unicode-range Value:#Initial: U+0-10FFFFThis descriptor defines the set of Unicode codepoints that may besupported by the font face for which it is declared. The descriptor valueis a comma-delimited list of Unicode range values. The union ofthese ranges defines the set of codepoints that serves as a hint for useragents when deciding whether or not to download a font resource for agiven text run.Each value is a token made up of a'U+' or 'u+' prefix followed by a codepoint range in one of the threeforms listed below. Ranges that do not fit one of the these forms areinvalid and cause the declaration to be ignored.single codepoint (e.g.

U+416)a Unicode codepoint, represented as one to six hexadecimal digitsinterval range (e.g. U+400-4ff)represented as two hyphen-separated Unicode codepoints indicating theinclusive start and end codepoints of a rangewildcard range (e.g. U+4??)defined by the set of codepoints implied when trailing ‘?’ characters signify any hexadeximal digitIndividual codepoints are written using hexadecimal values thatcorrespond to. Unicode codepoint valuesmust be between 0 and 10FFFF inclusive. Digit values of codepoints areASCII case-insensitive. For interval ranges, the start and end codepointsmust be within the range noted above and the end codepoint must be greaterthan or equal to the start codepoint.Wildcard ranges specified with ‘?’ that lack an initial digit (e.g.' ) are valid and equivalent to a wildcard range with an initial zerodigit (e.g.

= 'U+0000-0FFF'). Wildcard ranges that extend beyondthe range of Unicode codepoints are invalid. Because of this, the maximumnumber of trailing ‘?’ wildcard characters isfive, even though the token accepts six.Within the comma-delimited list of Unicode ranges in a ‘’ descriptor declaration, rangesmay overlap. The union of these ranges defines the set of codepoints forwhich the corresponding font may be used.

User agents must not download oruse the font for codepoints outside this set. User agents may normalizethe list of ranges into a list that is different but represents the sameset of codepoints.The associated font might not contain glyphs for the entire set ofcodepoints defined by the ‘’ descriptor. When the font isused, the effective character map isthe intersection of the codepoints defined by ‘’ with the font's. This allows authors todefine supported ranges in terms of broad ranges without worrying aboutthe precise codepoint ranges supported by the underlying font.4.6. Using character rangesto define composite fontsMultiple ruleswith different unicode ranges for the same family and style descriptorvalues can be used to create composite fonts that mix the glyphs fromdifferent fonts for different scripts. This can be used to combine fontsthat only contain glyphs for a single script (e.g.

Latin, Greek, Cyrillic)or it can be used by authors as a way of segmenting a font into fonts forcommonly used characters and less frequently used characters. For the examples given below, assume that a document islocated at and all URL's linkto valid font resources supported by the user agent. Fonts defined withthe ‘’descriptor values below will be loaded:/.

same origin (i.e. Domain, scheme, port match document)./src: url(fonts/simple.woff);/. data url's with no redirects are treated as same origin./src: url('data:application/font-woff;base64.'

);/. cross origin, different domain.//. Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header set to '.' ./src: url(defined with the ‘’ descriptor values below will fail toload:/. cross origin, different scheme.//. no Access-Control-xxx headers in response./src: url(cross origin, different domain.//. no Access-Control-xxx headers in response./src: url(Font MatchingAlgorithmThe algorithm below describes how fonts are associated with individualruns of text.

For each character in the run a font family is chosen and aparticular font face is selected containing a glyph for that character.5.1. Case sensitivity offont family namesAs part of the font matching algorithm outlined below, user agents mustmatch font family names used in style rules with actual font family namescontained in fonts available in a given environment or with font familynames defined inrules. User agents must match these names case insensitively, using the'Default Caseless Matching' algorithm outlined in the Unicodespecification. This algorithm isdetailed in section 3.13 entitled 'Default Case Algorithms'. Specifically,the algorithm must be applied without normalizing the strings involved andwithout applying any language-specific tailorings. The case folding methodspecified by this algorithm uses the case mappings with status field‘ C’ or ‘ F’in the CaseFolding.txt file of the Unicode Character Database.For authors this means that font family names are matchedcase insensitively, whether those names exist in a platform font or in therules containedin a stylesheet. If the content language of the element is known according to the rulesof the, user agents are required to infer the OpenType languagesystem from the content language and use that when selecting andpositioning glyphs using an OpenType font.

Kerning: the property Name:font-kerning Value: Initial:autoApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:as specifiedAnimatable:noKerning is the contextual adjustment of inter-glyph spacing.

When rendering with OpenType fonts, thespecification suggests that kerning be enabled by default.

Full Futura Font Family Nov 2013 Leo 2017

When kerning isenabled, the OpenType kern feature is enabled (forvertical text runs the vkrn feature is enabledinstead). User agents must also support fonts that only support kerningvia data contained in a kern font table, asdetailed in the OpenType specification. If the ‘ letter-spacing’ property is defined, kerningadjustments are considered part of the default spacing and letter spacingadjustments are made after kerning has been applied.When set to ‘ auto’, user agents candetermine whether to apply kerning or not based on a number of factors:text size, script, or other factors that influence text processing speed.Authors who want proper kerning should use to explicitly enable kerning.Likewise, some authors may prefer to disable kerning in situations whereperformance is more important than precise appearance. However, inwell-designed modern implementations the use of kerning generally does nothave a large impact on text rendering speed.

In situations where ligatures arenot considered necessary, this may improve the speed of text rendering.common-ligatures Enables display of common ligatures (OpenType features: liga, clig). For OpenType fonts, common ligatures areenabled by default. No-contextual Disables display of contextual alternates (OpenType feature: calt).Required ligatures, needed for correctly rendering complex scripts, arenot affected by the settings above, including ‘ none’ (OpenType feature: rlig). Subscriptand superscript forms: the property Name:font-variant-position Value: Initial:normalApplies to:all elementsInherited:yesPercentages:N/AMedia:visualComputed value:as specifiedAnimatable:noThis property is used to enable typographic subscript and superscriptglyphs.

These are alternate glyphs designed within the same em-box asdefault glyphs and are intended to be laid out on the same baseline as thedefault glyphs, with no resizing or repositioning of the baseline. Theyare explicitly designed to match the surrounding text and to be morereadable without affecting the line height. Subscript glyphs (top) vs. Superscript alternate glyph (left), synthesizedsuperscript glyphs (middle), and incorrect mixture of the two (right)In situations where text decorations are only applied to runs of textcontaining superscript or subscript glyphs, the synthesized glyphs may beused, to avoid problems with the placement of decorations.In the past, user agents have used font-size and vertical-align tosimulate subscripts and superscripts for the sub and sup elements. To allow a backwardscompatible way of defining subscripts and superscripts, it is recommendedthat authors use conditional rules so thatolder user agents will still render subscripts and superscripts via theolder mechanism.Because font-size: smaller is often used for theseelements, the effective scaling factor applied to subscript andsuperscript text varies depending upon the size. For larger text, the fontsize is often reduced by a third but for smaller text sizes, the reductioncan be much less. This allows subscripts and superscripts to remainreadable even within elements using small text sizes.

User agents shouldconsider this when deciding how to synthesize subscript and superscriptglyphs.The OpenType font format defines subscript and superscriptmetrics in the but these are notalways accurate in practice and so cannot be relied upon when synthesizingsubscript and superscript glyphs.Authors should note that fonts typically only provide subscript andsuperscript glyphs for a subset of all characters supported by the font.For example, while subscript and superscript glyphs are often availablefor Latin numbers, glyphs for punctuation and letter characters are lessfrequently provided. The synthetic fallback rules defined for thisproperty assure that subscripts and superscripts will always appear butthe appearance may not match author expectations if the font used does notprovide the appropriate alternate glyph for all characters contained in asubscript or superscript.This property is not cumulative. Applying it to elements within asubscript or superscript won't nest the placement of a subscript orsuperscript glyph. Images contained within text runs where the value ofthis property is ‘’or ‘’ will bedrawn just as they would if the value was.Because of these limitations, ‘’ is not recommended foruse in user agent stylesheets.

Authors should use it in cases wheresubscripts or superscripts will only contain the narrow range ofcharacters supported by the fonts specified.The variant glyphs use the same baseline as the defaultglyphs would use. There is no shift in the placement along the baseline,so the use of variant glyphs doesn't affect the height of the inline boxor alter the height of the linebox. This makes superscript and subscriptvariants ideal for situations where it's important that leading remainconstant, such as in multi-column layout.

All-small-caps Enables display of small capitals for both upper and lowercase letters(OpenType features: c2sc, smcp).petite-caps Enables display of petite capitals (OpenType feature: pcap).all-petite-caps Enables display of petite capitals for both upper and lowercaseletters (OpenType features: c2pc, pcap).unicase Enables display of mixture of small capitals for uppercase letterswith normal lowercase letters (OpenType feature: unic).titling-caps Enables display of titling capitals (OpenType feature: titl). Uppercase letter glyphs are often designed foruse with lowercase letters. When used in all uppercase titling sequencesthey can appear too strong. Titling capitals are designed specificallyfor this situation.The availability of these glyphs is based on whether a given feature isdefined or not in the feature list of the font. User agents can optionallydecide this on a per-script basis but should explicitly not decide this ona per-character basis.Some fonts may only support a subset or none of the features describedfor this property.

For backwards compatibility with CSS 2.1, if ‘’ or ‘’is specified but small-caps glyphs are not available for a given font,user agents should simulate a small-caps font, for example by taking anormal font and replacing the glyphs for lowercase letters with scaledversions of the glyphs for uppercase characters (replacing the glyphs forboth upper and lowercase letters in the case of ‘’). Caseless characters with small-caps, all-small-capsenabledIf either ‘’ or ‘’is specified for a font that doesn't support these features, the propertybehaves as if ‘’ or ‘’,respectively, had been specified.

If ‘’ is specified for a font that doesn'tsupport that feature, the property behaves as if ‘’ wasapplied only to lowercased uppercase letters. If ‘’ isspecified with a font that does not support this feature, this propertyhas no visible effect. When simulated small capital glyphs are used, forscripts that lack uppercase and lowercase letters, ‘’, ‘’,‘’,‘’ and ‘’ have no visibleeffect.When casing transforms are used to simulate small capitals, the casingtransformations must match those used for the ‘ text-transform’property.As a last resort, unscaled uppercase letter glyphs in a normal font mayreplace glyphs in a small-caps font so that the text appears in alluppercase letters.

Ruby Enables display of ruby variant glyphs (OpenType feature: ). Since ruby text is generally smaller than theassociated body text, font designers can design special glyphs for usewith ruby that are more readable than scaled down versions of the defaultglyphs. Only glyph selection is affected, there is no associated fontscaling or other change that affects line layout. The red ruby text belowis shown with default glyphs (top) and with ruby variant glyphs (bottom).Note the slight difference in stroke thickness.

I'm rebuilding a logotype that uses this sans serif that looks a lot like futura but differs in some subtle ways:. The lower case s upper and lower hooks flow in a more symmetric way and is a bit narrower. The lower case acute accent on the letter i is different in shape with horizontal top and bottom terminations.

Round letters are a little bit wider. The counter of the lower case a and p push very deep into the stem. I have Linotype's, Adobe's and Bitstream's and they don't look like this. I also googled Futura ND and it doesn't match either. I have been designing a book jacket for a book on Meditation. So I opted for what I thought would be a clean crisp san-serif font with good legibility.

We weren't looking for anything that would be too unique/new so I opted for one of my favorite classic typefaces. That being Futura (bold set in lowercase). The author came back with the following description: The font is brutal and rather ugly. If there is one description of a font which didn't seem to tally with my own personnel opinion it this is it.

He wants something crisp and modern but softer! It remains to be seen if what he means is something like Vag rounded. Anyway so let's have it.

Who out there can't stand Futura either? And what is a much better sans serif. Love to hear peoples views.

or to post comments. This beeing my first post: Hello everybody! I'm an architecture student and this is the first time I'm really dealing with typography. It's only a very basic draft supposed to show the characteristics of a font I want to create myself, as I can't seem to finde anything comparable that tries this fusion of geometric structure and 'contemporary' spurless details. If you know any existing font with these features, please tell me - there has to be one somewhere.

Anyway, please feel free to tell me, wether you think this is a project I should push further or if it is completely hopeless - architects tend to think they can do everything on their own and end up in a massive mess. or to post comments.
