Name Separate Families Merge Families Design parameters Weight Width Slope The design parameters of a font describe typographic properties of the underlying typeface They are declared by the font vendor The three important parameters are Weight Width and Slope The Weight describes the typographic weight stroke thickness of a typeface ranging from Thin to Extra Black and defaulting to Regular We recommend to set this parameter to a value which truly reflects the typographic weight of each font Alternatively if a family consists of a single font you may set the Weight parame ter to Regular and if a family consists of just two weights you may set the Weight parameter to Regular for the lighter weight and to Bold for the bolder weight This parameter is additionally expressed using a number from 100 for Thin to 950 for Extra Black In TransType s Icon view the numerical Weight is shown at the bottom of each font s sample The Width describes the typographic width of a typeface ranging from Ultra Con densed to Ultra Expanded and defaulting to Normal for most fonts You should set this parameter to a value which truly reflects the typographic width of the type face The Slope describes whether the font acts as an upright or italic font Most fonts including true upright fonts and also script fonts which are cursive should have a Plain slope You should set the Slope to Italic only if a font should act as an italic c
