Competition categories
[The organisers reserve
the right to revise the categorisation of the entries
proposed by the participants.] |
|
| I. Text designs |
| Typefaces and type families
intended for use in composition of text for continuous
reading. |
|
| II. Display designs |
| Typefaces and type families
intended for use in larger sizes rather than for body
text. |
|
| III. Text/Display type
systems |
| Extended groups of related
typefaces featuring separate designs for text and
display composition (digital fonts produced in
multiple-master format often fall within this category). |
|
| IV. Type superfamilies |
| Extended groups of related
typefaces featuring designs belonging to different style
categories; e.g., serif and sans-serif, serif and slab
serif (some digital fonts produced in multiple-master or
OpenType formats fall within this category). |
|
| V. Pi fonts |
| Typefaces featuring special
character sets for mathematical, phonetic, and other
specialized applications, as well as dingbats, icons,
symbols, and other pictorial items in a font format.
Ornament and border designs are also included inthis
category. |
|
| Notes |
|
| Alphabets/Writing
systems.
Typefaces created for any alphabet or writing system,
existing or historical--including, but not limited to,
Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari,
Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Latin--are
all eligible, and should be entered in the appropriate
competition category. As necessary, experts in the
relevant non-Latin scripts may be invited by the jury
for consultation. |
|
| Proprietary typefaces.
Typefaces designed for private use, rather than resale,
are eligible. They may include typefaces produced for
use by a specific designer or a design firm, as well as
those for corporate or other non-design clients. If the
design is based on an existing typeface, the design
source should be indicated, as well as the intended use
of the proprietary typeface--without identifying the
client: e.g., 'display typeface created for an airline,'
'text typeface created for a science publisher,' etc. |
|
| Multiple-master typefaces.
Multiple-master typefaces are defined by their number of
primary instances. Each instance is considered to be
equivalent to a constituent style of a type family. |
|
| Student type designs.
There is no separate category for student type designs.
These must be entered in one of the regular categories. |
