FIG Script

	FIG Script FIG Script is a typeface designed by Eric Olson in 2002 for Process Type Foundry. The name FIG is an acronym for "Frank (Sheeran), Ian (Chai), and Glenn (Chappell) who collaborated in the development of the FIGlet computer program developed to generate text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letters made up of arrangements of smaller ASCII characters. Olson used FIGlet in creating his ASCII-based FIG typefaces. Olson describes the FIG types as an "exploration into the generative possibilities type design software and simple grid structures." While suggestion of a raster is clearly visible in the face, a hominess similar to that found in nineteenth century cross-stitched samplers is also found. Many characters have swashes, and the overall effect is reminiscent of cursive. {{Digital-typography-stub See also Samples of display typefaces This list details display typefaces used in typesetting and printing. ...

picture info	Script (typefaces) Script typefaces are based upon the varied and often fluid stroke created by handwriting. They are generally used for display typeface, display or trade printing, rather than for extended body text in the Latin alphabet. Some Greek alphabet typefaces, especially historically, have been a closer simulation of handwriting. Styles Script typefaces are organized into highly regular formal types similar to cursive writing and looser, more casual scripts. Formal scripts A majority of formal scripts are based upon the letterforms of seventeenth and eighteenth century writing-masters like George Bickham the Elder, George Bickham, George Shelley and George Snell. The letters in their original form are generated by a quill or metal nib of a pen. Both are able to create fine and thick strokes. Typefaces based upon their style of writing appear late in the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. Contemporary revivals of formal script faces can be seen in Kuenstler Script and Matt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	FIGlet FIGlet is a computer program that generates text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letter (alphabet), letters made up of conglomerations of smaller ASCII characters (see ASCII art). The name derives from "Frank, Ian and Glenn's letters". Being free software, FIGlet is commonly included as part of many Unix-like operating systems (Linux, BSD, etc.) distributions, but it has been ported to other platforms as well. The official FIGlet FTP site includes precompiled ports for the Acorn Archimedes, Acorn, Commodore Amiga, Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, BeOS, Apple Macintosh, Macintosh, MS-DOS, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, Windows platforms, as well as a reimplementation in Perl (Text::FIGlet). There are third-party reimplementations of FIGlet in Java (programming language), Java (including one embedded in the JavE ASCII art editor), JavaScript, PHP, Python (programming language), Python, and Go (programming language), Go. FIGlet was featured as a Debian Package of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Typefaces And Fonts Introduced In 2002 A typeface (or font family) is the design of lettering that can include variations in size, weight (e.g. bold), slope (e.g. italic), width (e.g. condensed), and so on. Each of these variations of the typeface is a font. There are thousands of different typefaces in existence, with new ones being developed constantly. The art and craft of designing typefaces is called ''type design''. Designers of typefaces are called ''type designers'' and are often employed by ''type foundries''. In desktop publishing, type designers are sometimes also called ''font developers'' or ''font designers''. Every typeface is a collection of glyphs, each of which represents an individual letter, number, punctuation mark, or other symbol. The same glyph may be used for characters from different scripts, e.g. Roman uppercase A looks the same as Cyrillic uppercase А and Greek uppercase alpha. There are typefaces tailored for special applications, such as cartography, astrology or mathematics. Term ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
