Thirty-five out of the 97 newspapers studied use a custom-designed typeface in addition to fonts that can be purchased “off the shelf.”An analysis of the typefaces used by nearly 100 leading newspapers shows that 10 fonts have emerged as industry leaders. According to the study, the 10 most popular typeface families (in order) are: Poynter (36 newspapers), Helvetica (28), Franklin Gothic (27), Times (20), Utopia (12), Nimrod (9), Century Old Style (8), Interstate (8), Bureau Grotesque (7), and Miller (7).The study was conducted by examining PDF versions of newspapers that are posted on Newseum’s Web site.Using the “” section, Ascender examined 85 newspapers that embed their font information with the PDF file. Fifteen newspapers were either not posted on Newseum’s site, or didn’t have embedded font information., a Boston-based type foundry, provided typeface information for 12 of those 15 newspapers.Ascender said it could not determine fonts for three newspapers.Some newspapers have links on their Web sites to the printed pages in a PDF format exactly as they were printed that day. Fonts for the newspaper can be embedded with the PDF, or the newspaper can use fonts that are close approximations of the newsprint fonts.Electronic editions of newspapers raises many questions. First, if a newspaper uses “off the shelf” fonts what are the restrictions that would prevent them from being used for electronic editions? Are there copyright restrictions or licensing issues? And, if a newspaper has fonts designed specifically to use on newsprint how can the paper use those fonts electronically?What does this typeface study mean for readers, designers, and publishers? It could mean better on-screen reading of newspaper Web sites, if different typefaces are designed specifically for electronic editions.
But then the paper has to figure out how to better transport fonts in PDFs and other files. And, it could mean that newspapers need to figure out whether they are using custom fonts and what that means for their Web-based publications., the study’s author, says he hopes the report will stimulate discussions about typeface usage in print and online at newspapers.“One of the things I wanted to do is find out what newspapers use for fonts in their print editions,” he said.
