OUGD403 - Type Specimens Research



Type specimens

Type foundries produce type specimens to display the typeface and fonts they create. They demonstrate to buyers what the type looks like in various different sizes. They also show a dummy text model, usually set on a headline or paragraph. This is where the famous ‘Lorem Ipsum’ phrase usually appears.



A printer may also choose to display a pangram, which is a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet.
