In typography, a typeface (also known as font family) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features. Each font of a typeface.

I recently had the opportunity to take the lead on a redesign the. Knowing how many details would need ironing out, simply getting started seemed overwhelming. First thing was first I got myself a latte. Coffee in hand, I began to obliterate a helpless piece of paper with disjointed notes and sketches outlining the many tasks that lay ahead. Selecting headline and body fonts was at the top of my to-do list. After an hour of scanning through countless typefaces, my latte was gone, along with my enthusiasm for the redesign and my will to live.

Here are some of my favourite fonts that are commonly used in newspaper design.

Hi, I am the editor in chief of The Quill of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University Grade School (the school just turned 100 years old). (Yup, yours truly is a typophile and nationally-recognized student journalist from 6th grade, and I mean not to brag because I don’t even know how I did it.) We teamed up with our psychological department and we have studied which typefaces would represent modernity and formality while being comfortable to read in a small amount of soace and small point size. We settled for Vegur for headlines, Times New Roman with modified spacing for body text and Segoe for everything else. We chose Times New Roman because it is comfortable and can fit a lot of text into a small box, though it is indeed boring, however in the next issue we are planning to replace it with Lido Std since it is cleaner with better spacing management and an overall better feel, though I am still pondering about the choice due to the small width of the strokes.

@Joshua hahaah! I’m from Davao del Sur. П˜€ Well, after I looked at some redesigns (most notably that of Time Magazine, el Economista, and of USA Today), we finally settled with Franklin Gothic (because it looks good) and PT Serif (because we’re frickin Russian). I did some templates in QuarkXPress, and when my moderator looked at them, she said that there is a “mandated layout from the DepEd.” And I was like “Really?” And all other writers agreed with her. Okay, okay, I should blog this. @Paolo So you are from Davao del Sur and yet you are frickin’ Russian. I don’t really get it.

Anyway, about the mandated layout from the DepEd, it’s not you teacher’s fault. I mean, it’s part of the rules of the DSPC/RSPC/NSPC and you have to follow a basic mandated layout, although you can customize the details in each page but not the order of pages. We had a redesign this year and the fonts above were replacing our usual Cambria (headlines) and Calibri (body) because it made the headlines look old-school and then the body got hard to read because it was one of the world’s most compact fonts at point size 10. I was glad I did it because reading last year’s issue classmates reported headaches and I myself wanted to put the paper down due to eye strain. Anyway, the new Quill has attracted a lot of readers, partly due to this redesign and partly due to our advertising on the bulleting board and the TV set.
