About Oswald

Vernon Adams가 클래식한 그로테스크 압축 장르를 웹에 맞게 재해석한 서체로, 초기 미국 목판 활자에서 영향을 받았습니다. 좁은 폼 팩터와 강한 수직 강조 덕분에 포스터, 헤더, 내비게이션 레이블에서 즉각적인 시각적 영향력을 발휘합니다. 최근 기부를 통해 The Font Bureau로 관리가 이전되었으며, 6가지 굵기에 가변 weight 축을 지원합니다.

Typography Concepts

  • Ascender

    The part of a lowercase letter that extends above the x-height, as in 'b', 'd', 'h', 'k', 'l'.

  • Display Typeface

    Typefaces designed for use at large sizes — headlines, posters, logos. Not optimized for body text readability at small sizes.

  • Variable Font

    A single font file containing an entire range of weights, widths, or other variations. Reduces HTTP requests and file size.

  • Font Loading API

    JavaScript API (document.fonts) for programmatic font loading control — check if fonts are loaded, preload specific fonts, and respond to load events.

  • Letter Spacing

    The CSS property for adjusting spacing between all characters. Positive values spread letters apart; negative values bring them closer.
