Press Roman is a practical type face, which is characterized 

both by its distinctive appearance as well as by its legibility. 

An analysis of Press Roman reveals that it has no pronounced 

thick and thin strokes as are found frequenUy in other type 

faces. It has an overall symmetry that is pleasing. The short 

ascenders and descenders, also characteristic of the type face, 

create a large lower case letter. It is a sturdily constructed, 

dignified face, which can be utilized for varied applications.

Specialized Fonts 

The growth and advancement of science and technology 

has resulted in an increased volume of technical 

composition . To meet this need, there is a wide 

variety of Composer fonts for techni ca l, scientific, and 

mathematical composition. This section includes 

showings for the following classifications of 

special ized fonts: 

Presswire Fonts 

Presswire Fonts were designed specifi ca lly for the 

presswire paper tapes with numbers designed for the 

4-unit escapement (en space) req uired for numeric 

tables in items sent over the presswire system. 

Because the Pressw ire Fonts are normally used to set 

the narrower newspaper col umn widths, the type style 

samples are set on a narrower measure. 

Symbol Fonts 

Symbol Fonts are available in the Press Roman type 

style only. The Symbol Greek Fonts co ntain the cap ital 

and lowercase letters of the Greek alphabet, Greek 

accent marks, tariff symbols, and other miscellaneous 

symbols. The Mathematical Fonts contain symbols 

used in mathematical expressi ons. The Technical 

Fonts contain symbols used mainly in composing 

technical ex pressions for chemistry and physics. 

Custom Fonts 

For increased flexibility certa in fonts can be customized 

to include as many as 11 symbols. This saves 

typesetting time and improves accuracy by eliminating 

the need to change fonts or to type in sym bols 

after the text is completed. 

Ruling Font 

The Ru ling Font produces the rules used in forms and 

tabular composition. It can be used in conjunction 

with any of the type fonts shown throughout this book. 

Copperplate Gothic/Fraction, Bold/Light, Technical 

Feature Fonts* 

IBM " Se lectric" Composers equipped with the 

Copperplate Gothic/Fraction Feature may be used for 

simple fast forms preparation. 

The new Bold/Light Feature adds the capabil ity to 

produce catalog and directory work more easily. 

The Technical Feature provides a new variety of 

technica l symbols and superscripts to aid in the 

preparation of specification sheets, technical manuals, 

and materials using formula and mathematical data. 

'For use on IBM "Selectric" Composers equipped with t he Copperplate Gothic/Fraction Feature. the Bold/Light Feature, or 

the Technical Fea ture. These features are available at addit ional charge. Consult your IBM Representat ive for details. 47
