Correct specification of typesetting depends<br />

in part on the selected typesetting equipment.<br />

Because there are many different typesetting<br />

systems, each continuously revised and improved<br />

and each with slightly different actual sizes produced<br />

at a specified point size, it is not possible<br />

to standardize one specification that will yield<br />

uniform results from all typesetting equipment.<br />

Therefore, the examples on this page establish<br />

the visual standard for correct typesetting.<br />

Note: The typefaces used in <strong>GE</strong> stationery,<br />

Univers 48 and 68,* are available as computer<br />

fonts to <strong>GE</strong> employees and their suppliers<br />

from the <strong>GE</strong> Identity Website.<br />

*In computer typesetting, other names may be used, such as<br />

• for Univers 68, Univers (67) Condensed Bold Oblique<br />

• for Univers 48, Univers (47) Condensed Light Oblique<br />
