Typography

Block or relief printing is done by starting with a flat, smooth block and cutting a design into it with sharp gouges or knives. The areas of the block that remain raised will take the ink and transfer it to the surface being printed upon, (usually paper) while the cut areas will reveal the original un-inked color of the surface. The most basic materials you will need are a block, which traditionally had been made of wood, and more recently of linoleum, but my favorite is a rubber-like synthetic, which is easier to cut, can be cut from both sides, and is forgiving when pulling a print. You will also need gouges, a basic set of which costs about $15. A bench hook is a simple but valuable tool to protect yourself from injury, and which you can easily make yourself. A brayer is used to thinly and evenly spread the ink on any immobile, smooth, impervious surface and transfer it to the block, and it starts at about $10. Finally you will need a method of applying pressure to the back of the paper, or to the back of the block if you are printing onto a solid surface, in order to transfer the ink from the block. Presses start at around $100 and go into the thousands, but if you don't need speed, you can get very good results with a baren, which starts at about $15. If you want to start as cheaply as possible, it is possible to use a plastic foam sheet like the ones that meat is packaged with at the supermarket, and some people recommend a wooden spoon in place of a baren, but in my opinion these shortcuts are less likely to give a successful result.

Helvetica is actually Latin for Swiss, not Switzerland (which is Helvetia).

To put emphasis on a word or phrase, you could use italics or bold or UPPER CASE. You could even use ALL THREE. However, you may want to base your selection on the other fonts you are already using. For example, if you are using bold for employer names and dates of employment, italics may be a better choice because it is different. Also, italics may be a better choice for a complete sentence or phrase of three or more words, where upper case might work better for a SINGLE word. Make your decision based on the visual impact when you look at the document.

There is not one particular font used in pdf documents. The PDF's font is whichever font the designer/creator of the original file used. PDF (portable document format) was created to give you a format for exchanging documents regardless of software, hardware, and operating system. It does this by embedding images, fonts, line art, etc in the PDF, so the font you see when you open a PDF is the one that was used to create it and then embedded when it was turned into a PDF. To check what font is used go to file, properties, and fonts. This reads the original embedded font and will tell you all the fonts used in the PDF, their foundry, and type.

Numerals, such as '1' or '2' are symbols for numbers. Numerals are combined to represent larger or more complex numbers ("2,224", "19.5", or "2/3").

A letter is a message written by a person to convey a message to another. Letters represent mutual friendship and a type of humanly communication, especially on a regular letter exchange between two people.

Letters had been existent through humanity since ancient history. Letters existed during the time of ancient Egypt, Sumer, and ancient India, through Greece, Rome, and China up to now.

The development of fax, telegraph, Internet, telephones, and other high tech communication gadgets posed a huge impact on the sending and writing of letters.

The art of exchanging letters became less common in modern industrialized countries and were replaced by e-mail. In addition, the invention of the cassette tape had encouraged people to send tape letters during the time when CDs were not yet available.

The term letter is often used in e-mail messages that follow the basic format of a rudimentary letter. Instead of papers, these messages are read on the monitor or screen of the computer.

One type is the Letter of Inquiry. It is a general term used for different kinds of business letters.

This letter is usually written short and direct to the point. It only contains a short introduction with a phone number, address, and e-mail address of the sender.
