| | Protection For Typeface Designs: A Copyright Proposal |
 | | In determining whether the typeface design was a "work of art," the Eltra court held that the typeface was a utilitarian work. | | | A typeface design is an artistic work of authorship that deserves the same copyright protection as any other artistic work. | | | (e) In the case of a typeface design, it is not an infringement of copyright to depict an article printed with the typeface in any literary, pictorial, graphic, or audiovisual work, or to use the typeface in the ordinary course of typing, composing text, typesetting, or printing. |

| | Choosing a Typeface |
| | If you choose a typeface for literary texts, for topics of art, music, or history, match the time period of your media. | | | Even a relatively neutral typeface such as a sans serif can appear in a rich variety of forms simply through the different arrangement of the letter on the page. | | | Study and compare the historical styles of various epochs to sharpen your skills. |

| | Typeface of the month: Gill Sans : Journal : Mark Boulton |
| | Gill Sans was designed by Eric Gill in the 1920's and issued by Monotype in 1928 to 1930. | | | The characters are hard, sculptured forms which clearly show Gill's education and artistic roots. | | | As a personal preference, it has some quirks that don’t appeal to me, such as how far the leg on the “R” extends, but that isn’t to discredit Eric Gill& extraordinary ability to create typefaces. |

| | Although comparisons with other media can only be approximate, a typeface family is an accomplishment on the order of a novel, a feature film screenplay, a computer language design and implementation, a major musical composition, a monumental sculpture, or other artistic or technical endeavors that consume a year or more of intensive creative effort. | | | In a socialist (or, in the past, royalist) society, the state itself might employ type artists. | | | Certain traditional typeface names, usually the surnames of illustrious designers like Garamond, Caslon, Baskerville, Bodoni, and others have become generic names in the public domain. |

| | The art of designing typefaces is called type design, and the people who design them are called type designers—not typographers, who are people that select and arrange type. | | | As a general rule, printed works such as newspapers and books almost always use serif typefaces, at least for the text body. | | | Serif, or "roman", typefaces are named for the features at the ends of their strokes. |
