Font or Typeface?

Sun, 06 May 2012 11:00:28 -0700

I wasn’t completely clear on their usage, so I googled it, and this was the best result:

the physical embodiment of a collection of letters, numbers, symbols, etc. (whether it’s a case of metal pieces or a computer file) is a font. When referring to the design of the collection (the way it looks) you call it a typeface.

…

When you talk about how much you like a tune, you don’t say: “That’s a great MP3”. You say: “That’s a great song”. The MP3 is the delivery mechanism, not the creative work; just as in type a font is the delivery mechanism and a typeface is the creative work.

TL;DR:

font is what you use, and typeface is what you see.

This is probably one of those things that drives graphic designers crazy. But, outside of design studios, the language has become much more relaxed. This is just another one of those cases where the meaning of the word changes to account for relaxed usage.

9-bits:

Teehan+Lax have, at long last, released their Retina-ready iPad GUI PSD. Longtime readers will know that I normally post whenever Teehan+Lax release one of their Photoshop-based mobile UI sets, but this one is different: With the overall resolution in the new iPad, and some of the newer elements in iOS 5.1, the scale of this project was immense (as anyone following Geoff on Twitter already knows). It’s also quite interesting that the file was made in and requires the Photoshop CS6 beta:

It’s a free download right now and, in my humble opinion, one of the best releases of Photoshop to date. Its perfect pixel snapping, grouped layer styles and a few other features enabled us to create the assets with more accuracy, yet remain remarkably editable.

You’ll have to download the PSD to see all of the detail and labor that must have gone into making it. Congrats to the team!

NeXT, OpenStep and the return of Steve Jobs to Apple (by dbockstegers)

This is great. Classic Steve and a great peek on what OS X came to be. What’s even more interesting, knowing what we know now, it’s obvious that the Mac would be going to Intel.
