Panose at a Glance

[Dave Crosby]

Look at this image and check off where your font fits.



The following image should print out on an 8 1/2 X 11 page.

Lotta work to get this stuff together.

Serif style is too small to see the differences. Unfortunately that may be the case in 3.2 Tool Kind. You might put line dividers between 2, 3, and 4. It's not really clear this is a check list for Panose.

I liked your other writeup which focused on specific serif points and therefore showed larger images

Obviously a work still in progress (that is the plan anyway).

I want a checklist that I can have laminated and used to select Panose values.

I could make multiple rows to get the images larger, but then what do I do with finials and wrapping etc.?
AND I need a list of the Symbols groups ...

Hmm, I could make it the front and BACK of a single sheet! Perhaps next week ...

Symbols is nothing!

Family -- 5 Symbol
Kind -- Simple text list
Weight -- 1 No Fit
Spacing -- (always) 2 Proportional
Pan4-9 -- 1 No Fit...

I think you 'd have more fun if you were to calculate the variables. You learn more about Panose that way and it's kind fun to do something then calculate a result! (Try it with Symbol fonts to begin to understand the mechanism.)

It takes time, time, to brew a better font.

Saw on the news one of your towns got too much snow for the Gymnasium... Been 75 here today ... hehhehheh (unfortunately you have to live in Texas to get that kinda weather. td
