Fonts & Typefaces

Fonts Vs typefaces

font and typeface are two terms that are often incorrectly interchangably

A font is one particular weight and style of a larger typeface

typefaces are categories comprised of many different fonts


Serif
-these are identifiable by small lines on the edge of letters to make it esier to read in print


Sans serif
-these are identifiable because they dont have a serif attached to them so they display more clearly on websites

The modern typeface is characterised by variance between thin and thick bold lines in lettering


Monospaced

Monospaced fonts have larger spaces between each letter it is designed to look like a typewriter

The font used here is sans serif. It is used here as the target audience is young teenage boys aged 13-18 and it makes it much easier for them to be able to read it clearly and understand it as it's a very simple font.
