Berkeley is an Old Style serif typeface designed in 1937 by Frederic Goudy for the University of California Press at Berkeley. After being designed, the typeface was not used much until the 1980’s when it was finally digitized by ITC.
Designed in 1937 by Frederic Goudy Some defining characters include uppercase C, Q, X, and W, as well as lowercase d, e, m, and g. The K is a good indicator of Berkeley, since the contrasting thick leg and thing arm meet before the arm touches the mian stroke. Berkeley is also good for identity and body copy, since it is very legible.

Garamond was originally a group of Old Style serif typefaces created by Claude Garamond of France in the 1500’s. Garamond’s letters are closely connected to Stempel Garamond. It is evident that the bowl of the a, eye of the e, are good in separating it from similar typefaces. The uppercase W and B also help separate it from similar serif typefaces. One popular use of Garamond includes use in Dr. Seuss books.
Designed in 1500’s by Claude Garamond Apple used a variation of Garamond upon the release of Macintosh as well. Another variation was used in the Harry Potter series. Some versions of Garamond that are easy to mistake for Stempel include, Adobe Garamond, Granjon, Sabon, Garamond Premier, and Garamond Antiqua. Since some variations of the original are either based on Jean Jannon who created a similar variation, or they are newer designs based on the original typeface. These include ITC Garamond, Apple Garamond, Monotype Garamond, among others.

Gill Sans was later released in 1928 by Monotype Corporation. The Bold and Condensed have many times been great for package design.
Designed in 1927 by Eric Gill The BBC and Church of England have adopted it as their corporate typefaces. The lower case g, a, and r separate it from similar typefaces. The oblique style has several characters that have distinct differences from similar typefaces in the w and z.

Helvetica is an amazingly popular typeface developed in 1957 by type designers Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffman of Switzerland. Originally, it was designed to compete with Akzidenz Grotesque and was then titled “Neue Hass Grotesk,� but in 1960 it was renamed Helvetica.
Designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger Helvetica Neue is just a reworked version that has some height and width modifications that was done by D. Stempel AG, company owned by Linotype. Known to have 51 total styles, Helvetica Neue can be identified by the counter shape in the lower-case a, the spur of the G, and many horizontal and vertical cuts into strokes as opposed to diagonals.

Designed by Tobias Frere-Jones in 1994, the typeface Interstate classified as a eo-grotesque, sans-serif typeface licensed by the Font Bureau. Interstate strongly resembles the type of signage alphabet used for the US Federal Highway Administration in 1949, which in turn made the name Interstate seem appropriate.
Designed in 1994 by Tobias Frere-Jones Although the typeface was designed for signage, it has certain typographical characteristics that make it a good choice for print and screen uses. Interstate holds a high level of legibility due to large open counters. For example, the lowercase g, o p, and q. Other characters that separate Interstate from similar looking type include uppercase G, Q, K, and S.

Designed by an American named Robert Slimbach in 1990, the typeface Minion is a useful Old Style serif that was done for Adobe Systems. The name Minion comes from the naming system for type sizes. On that naming scale, Minion is located between nonpareil and brevier. The typeface was inspired by other Old Style faces of the late Renaissance.
Designed in 1990 by Robert Slimbach Some characters useful in separating Minion from similar typefaces include the ampersand, as well as uppercase letters A, Q, K, and B, as well as lowercase letters g, z, t, and f. The typeface has been used for Brown University’s logo, Wake Forest University’s primary serif typeface, and as the body type in the famous design book “The Elements of Typographic Style,” written by Robert Bringhurst.

Designed by Zuzana Licko in 1996, Mrs Eaves is a transitional serif typeface. It became licensed by Emigre, a type foundry that Licko and her husband Rudy VanderLans had run. Fractions and Just Ligatures are some of the other styles. Just Ligatures useful in dealing with ligature issues when used for large type. Fractions is quite useful in situations where fractions need to be shown.
Designed in 1954 by Adrian Frutiger Some of the characters that separate it from similar faces include the lowercase g due to its ear and lower counter, the uppercase C’s serifs at the top and bottom, and the lack of a serif at the W’s apex. Also, the uppercase G’s spur is useful in identifying the typeface. The tail of the Q,as well as the serif on the horizontal stroke of the 7, and the contrast between thick and thin strokes of the U additionally seperate MrsEaves from similar typefaces.

Designed by John Baskerville in 1757, New Baskerville is a transitional serif typeface. Baskerville was greatly influenced by the work of William Caslon in creating the typeface. It differs from Caslon’s work, since Baskerville had increase contrast between think and thin strokes, and sharpened the serifs, as well as making the curved, rounded letters more vertical.
Designed in 1757 by John Baskerville John Baskerville is famous for his work of his folio Bible, done in 1763, using his typeface. The uppercase Q makes a great indicator of New Baskerville. Other characters that separate New Baskerville from similar typefaces include uppercase A, B, Q, K, W, and G, as well as lowercase g, v, and s. The typeface was reworked by ITC some years as well.

Palatino is an Old Style serif typeface that in 1948, Hermann Zapf designed and was released by the Linotype Foundry. It was named after Giambattista Palatino, an Italian master of Calligraphy and known to be based on some of the Humanist fonts of the Italian Renaissance. Microsoft had also released a similar typeface called Book Antigua.
Designed in 1948 by Hermann Zapf It is difficult to tell the two typefaces apart, but in Palatino, the S is not as wide and the legs on upper-case k and R are slightly thinner. According to a TypeWar. com study, the upper-case letters X, Y, E, F, and L are the letters that separate Palatino from similar typefaces.

Designed by Frank Pierpont of the Monotype foundry in 1934, Rockwell is a slab serif typeface, also called Egyptian. The typeface was based on a condensed slab serif known as Litho Antique. The Monotype foundry actually had the typeface designed at their in-house studio with Pierpont at the helm.
Designed in 1934 by Frank Pierpont Rockwell tends to be a geometric slab serif due to the rectangular “slab-like� serifs, and tends to be used for display as opposed to body copy. The typeface has almost no contrast between the weights of its strokes. Some defining letters include the lowercase a, n, d, and r, as well as uppercase G, R, E, and Q. The typeface often gives off a feeling of honesty and is great for headings.

Designed by Jackson Burke in 1948, Trade Gothic is a Sans Serif classified in the Gothic style. Trade Gothic was released by the Linotype foundry and is now distributed by Linotype and MyFonts. It is known to be a simple grotesk typeface that is commonly used for books, magazines, and newspapers.
Designed in 1954 by Adrian Frutiger The reason for it being so good for print is the counter’s large space and legibility. Some characters that separate it from similar typefaces include lowercase a, y q, and k, as well as uppercase G, Q, R, and W.

Univers was designed in 1954 by Adrian Frutiger and released in 1957 by Deberney & Peignot. It was part of a group of neo-grotesque sans-serif swiss typefaces that includes the famous Helvetica, although Univers has a little smaller x-height. Frutiger redesigned it in 1997 under the name Linotype Univers, since Linotype is it’s current owner.
Designed in 1954 by Adrian Frutiger Compared to Helvetica and Akzidenz Grotesk, the tail of letter a, and the top of 1 are not as round. The upper-case G is formed without a spur, the arms of K join at the stem, the tail of Q runs along the baseline, the top of the t is angled, and the upper-case Y has a straight descender. Those letters are useful in seperating Univers from similar typefaces.
