Helvetica is a “Typeface”. “Typography” is the art of setting or working with typefaces (size, spacing, margins, placement, etc).
@thelauraby3 жыл бұрын
Yes! And a font is an instance of a typeface in a specific size, weight, and style (e.g., Helvetica 12pt bold roman). It's become colloquial to use the word font incorrectly to mean typeface, but I've never heard the word typography used incorrectly in this way. There's obviously a lot of work in this video and there's no reason why someone who isn't a designer needs to become an expert in typography. It's great to hear non-typographers thinking about the impact of type.
@VarunMashru3 жыл бұрын
Ah! Glad someone also resonates with the same. It's also interesting to note that typefaces like Roboto and Poppins are connected with architecture as opposed to being exclusively made for digital design.

In this day and age that we are living where everything needs to be presented to be shown from our computer screens, its important to design presentations as an extra add on to your work where a lot of times makes your work speak for itself when you presented well. Fonts are extremelly important when composing a presentation and it needs to be well thought out as if its part of your project. When all combined it presents a more pleasant experience and a better opinion from the audience about your artistic taste. Great video steven! You know you did a great job again !

I love that you spoke about introducing our personality/identity in typography. Haven't really thought about it this deeply before. Oddly, I found myself going back to Times New Roman for small, descriptive text. It gives some real warmth. Wouldn't think that would be me a few years back, when I exclusively was looking for sans serif fonts. Also, I need to get on that Patreon asap, the amount of value you provide on a regular basis is unreal! Thank you ❤️

In Spain in the last years architects very commonly use CENTURY GOTHIC, for all the written documents of the projects, but not for the text in the drawings, as it is a very rounded type, very easy and comfortable to read, and as it’s a sans serif font it also helps with “easy reading” (I don’t know if it’s the same term in English for “lectura fácil”) which stands for texts written for people with disabilities to comprehend better, not only from the visual point of view, but also in the content of the text, using common words and concepts so the text is easier to understand avoiding the abuse of technical language when possible.

I am always spending too much time on choosing a font, trying to find a balance for the project and accessibility/easily readable. I’ve used all but a couple of the ones you mentioned, but I think my default for large amounts of text is Gil Sans. Thanks for the video, helpful info. I think I will try Montserrat on a project I am working on because the description you gave reminds me of the ideal outcome of my project. Also, nice to see that your patreons are worldwide, thats such a great thing about architecture, the language is almost universal.

"Typographies..." -- You're confusing typography with typeface (font). Typography is the art/craft of choosing typefaces (fonts) and setting them with the right attributes for the best effect. A font or typeface is a family or face in a particular design style. Times, Helvetica, Courier, and so on are typefaces or fonts, not "typographies." -- You have the right idea of how fonts are used, but the wrong word for it. Typography is like architecture. A font or typeface is like a given style of architecture.
