Post #11 Typography

-http://www.luckymanpress.com/teach/pages/Links/Guide2Fonts.html

My favorite computer font that I use almost exclusively is Times New Roman. The modern Times New Roman is a typeface that has its roots in the old Latin lettering. The excepted font size for Times New Roman is 12 points because it is the easiest to read at this size. The reason why I like Times New Roman so much is because of the ease with which it is to read. The letters are all spaced out accordingly and there is enough of a curvature in every letter to distinct them from each other. The numbers also show up very well in Times New Roman. The curves are probably the most distinctive aspect of the font and it almost seams like somebody hand wrote the letters. With the letters put together there is a flow to the text that that not many other fonts can follow and that is without using the italic function on Word. Its easy to see why Times New Roman is used in books and newspapers, it has such a distinctive style that is very familiar to us all, even to those who have never seen it. I can almost relate my handwriting, if I was writing neatly of course, to the font of Times New Roman.
