| Egyptian type: This was originally from 1815 onwards. Bold face with heavy slabs or square serifs. Em space: A space as wide as the point size of the types. This measurement is relative. In a 12-point type an em space is 12 points wide but in 24-point type an em space is 24 points wide. En space: A space half as wide as the type is high (half that of an em space). Expanded (font): A font in which the fixed widths of the characters are wider than in the standard typeface. Not the intercharacter space as that is accomplished through letterspacing. This is referring to the characters themselves). Extended type: These are typefaces that are wide horizontally. HELLENIC, LATIN WIDE, EGYPTIAN EXPANDED, MICROGRAMMA EXTENDED, plus many others. |
