Typography is the art of arranging type, which refers to letters used in language. A typeface is a specific design of an alphabet that comes in fonts, which are a complete set of letters in a single size and style of a typeface. Common typestyles include italic, light, and bold, though not all typefaces support different styles. Typefaces also have categories such as serif, sans serif, slab serif, modern, oldstyle, script, and decorative.

1) Font choice should match the purpose and personality of the design, convey meaning, and give visual clues about reading order through techniques like visual hierarchy, size, weight, and positioning.
2) Font pairing works best when limited to 2-3 fonts that are not too similar, like a serif heading and sans serif subheading.
3) Font choice considers the target audience and medium, ensuring clarity and legibility for things like age and digital vs. print display through settings like size, style, and spacing.Categories of fonts

This document provides an overview of different types of writing systems including alphabets, abjads, abugidas, syllabaries, and semanto-phonetic systems. It explains that alphabets use letters to represent vowels and consonants, abjads represent consonants only using letters and vowels with diacritics, abugidas use letters for syllables modified with diacritics, and syllabaries represent syllables with separate symbols rather than diacritics. Semanto-phonetic systems incorporate meaning and sound with symbols like pictograms, ideograms, and compound characters.1.01 Typography PowerPoint

This document evaluates the biocompatibility of materials commonly used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for implantable medical devices. Six MEMS materials (silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, gold, and titanium) and one encapsulating material were fabricated using standard MEMS processes and sterilized. All materials were tested using the ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, which assess cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and other effects. Scanning electron microscopy was also used to examine the materials before and after sterilization. The results indicated few biocompatibility concerns for using these materials in implants, though further testing may still be required to satisfy all regulatory requirements.Project Greenland Cost Report - Initial Draft
