| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a 3-D mechanical process in which the raised areas of type or image are inked and then impressed into paper | relief printing |
| ink-retaining areas determined through the action of a light-sensitive emulsion upon a flat metal plate | lithography |
| litho process developed for mass commercial applications through the use of flexible zinc plates that could be cylinder-mounted for printing via an inking roller | offset litho |
| designed a prototype photocomposition system | Edmund Uher |
| typesetting process in which letters are successfully exposed upon photographic paper or film, then negatives are created to which the litho plates are exposed | photosetting or photocomposition |
| Swiss; "Die Neue Typographie"; modernist position, book designer, designer of typefaces, notably Sabon | Jan Tschichold |
| represented the postwar development of ideas first formulated by Tschichold & Renner; characterized by strong asymmetrical grids | Swiss typography |
| digital type on screen formed from a grid of pixels, with all the pixels that fall within the letterform appearing as positive | bitmap |
| maps the outline of the letter as a sequence of straight and curved lines, the mathematical formulae for which are then stored digitally | vector |
| addressed the perceived problems of digital type design; incorporated the pixelated surface into the working method | Zuzana Licko |
| created without mechanical processes, and each typeface is stored in the form of binary information | digital type |
| a facility to improve the quality of type at low resolutions | hinting |
| computer language that encodes descriptive information about the design and layout of a page of text, irrespective of the quality of the device to which the text is being sent | PostScript by Adobe Systems |
| the means by which information is managed between digital file, screen, and printer | descriptive languages |
| dpi | dots per inch |
| two systems that translate the character information from bitmap into vector form for display | TrueType by Apple, & PostScript by Adobe |
| use the fixed-size bitmap file information for drawing the characters on screen | PostScript files |
| vector information send from PostScript files to the printer, which fills in the vector shape with pixels | rasterization |
| scales info from the PostScript outline font to create appropriately sized bitmap letterforms on screen at any size | Adobe Type Manager |
| outline fonts on vector format & infinitely scalable | TrueType |
| introduced to allow the user to adjust attributes of weight, width, or other variant characteristics on a sliding scale between two versions of the face | Multiple master fonts |
| a system for describing a character set developed in the 1990s & allows for up to 65,000 characters or glyphs | unicode |
| fonts developed by Microsoft and Adobe that consist of a single file that can accommodate the extended number of characters/glyphs that the Unicode system defines; allowed for European alphabets | OpenType |
| designed Tahoma, Veranda, and Georgia; commissioned by Micosoft | Matthew Carter |
