Context: Sylfaen is a multi-script serif font family designed by John Hudson and W. Ross Mills of Tiro Typeworks , and Geraldine Wade of Monotype Typography . The name Sylfaen is a Welsh word meaning foundation . In 1997 , Tiro was hired by Microsoft Typography to consult on the production of support materials for OpenType font development . Part of this project was producing a multi-script font used for displaying glyphs in the Web Resource for International Typography ( WRIT ) database , which was a tool for establishing character and glyph requirements for given languages , geographical areas or scripts ( or combinations thereof ) . The project included support for Latin , IPA , Cyrillic , Greek , Armenian , Georgian , and Ethiopian characters . Latin glyphs were designed by John Hudson , and the first script developed for Sylfaen . Cyrillic glyphs were designed by John Hudson . The design was reviewed by Maxim Zhukov , typographic coordinator for the United Nations . Greek glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade , based on the Latin glyphs , with consultation from Gerry Leonidas . Only the glyphs used in monotonic orthography are available . Armenian glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade , under the guidance of Armenian type designer Manvel Shmavonyan , and his Russian colleague Vladimir Yefimov at ParaType in Moscow . It includes ' classical caps ' , which are based on the tall capitals in Armenian manuscript . Georgian glyphs include khutsuri and mxedruli letters . The development of the Georgian script came to a halt when Georgian type designer Anton Dumbadze was fatally struck by a car before being able to finish the design . As a result the font is incomplete . Ethiopic glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade . The font shipped with Windows 2000 and XP only include a subset of the original designs . In particular , IPA , Polytonic Greek , Ethiopic glyphs are missing . It supports WGL4 , Armenian script , and the minuscules of the Georgian alphabet . OpenType features include small caps , glyph substitution ., In typography, a typeface (also known as font family) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features. Each font of a typeface has a specific weight, style, condensation, width, slant, italicization, ornamentation, and designer or foundry (and formerly size, in metal fonts). For example, "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed Italic" means the bold, condensed-width, italic version of ITC Garamond. It is a different font from "ITC Garamond Condensed Italic" and "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed," but all are fonts within the same typeface, "ITC Garamond." ITC Garamond is a different typeface from "Adobe Garamond" or "Monotype Garamond." (These are all alternative updates or digitisations of the typeface Garamond, originally created in the 16th century.)
There are thousands of different typefaces in existence, with new ones being developed constantly., In typography, a serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). A typeface without serifs is called sans serif or sans-serif, from the French "sans", meaning "without". Some typography sources refer to sans-serif typefaces as "Grotesque" (in German "grotesk") or "Gothic", and serif typefaces as "Roman"., I (named "i" , plural "ies") is the ninth letter and the third vowel in the ISO basic Latin alphabet., Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing (leading), and letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process. Type design is a closely related craft, sometimes considered part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. Typography also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information., In typography and lettering, a sans-serif, sans serif, gothic, or simply sans letterform is one that does not have extending features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. Sans-serif fonts tend to have less line width variation than serif fonts. In most print, they are often used for headings rather than for body text. They are often used to convey simplicity and modernity or minimalism., Subject: sylfaen , Relation: instance_of, Options: (A) alphabet (B) art (C) communication (D) design (E) family (F) information (G) language (H) latin alphabet (I) letter (J) line (K) part (L) point (M) print (N) process (O) share (P) size (Q) space (R) symbol (S) term (T) typeface (U) typography (V) variation (W) vowel
