Character

Set

A character set is a collection of symbols designed for

various printing applications. Many character sets are

composed of the letters (uppercase and lowercase

A-Z), digits (0-9), and any symbol (such as blank

space, dollar sign, and ampersand). Other character sets

are composed entirely of symbols.

Typeface Classification

One way of classifying the different typefaces is to group them into

the following categories:

■ Serif

■ Sans serif

■ Script

■ Pi or symbol

Serif—A serif is a decorative line or tail on the ends of the strokes

of a letter. Serifs, usually on the lower half of a letter, have also

been referred to as feet or curlicues. Courier, ITC Bookman, New

Century Schoolbook, Palatino, and Times are serif typefaces.

In the following example, all the letters except “e” and “o” have

serifs:

Times Roman

Sans serif—Sans serif (“sans” is French for “without”) indicates

a typeface without any of these small tails. A sans serif typeface is

decorative by the shape and styling of its letters but has less detail

than a serif typeface. Helvetica, Helvetica Condensed, Helvetica

Narrow, and ITC Avant Garde Gothic, are all sans serif typefaces.
