In-Depth Information
Case Every letter in the Western alphabet occurs in a large form—the capitals, or uppercase—and
a small, more casual form—lowercase. The uppercase requires added space between letters to per-
mit easier reading. The lowercase is more varied and more quickly recognized in text.
Weight The overall thickness of the strokes, relative to the height of the upper-case, might change.
Light, regular, bold, and black weights—increasing in stroke thickness—for a single type style
define a type family. Variation in weight helps to add visual contrast as well as to distinguish
between informational components within a hierarchy.
