Typical style names are Light, Regular, Book, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Heavy, Black and Light Italic, Italic, Book Italic, Medium Italic, Semibold Italic, Bold Italic, Heavy Italic, Black Italic, you get the idea.

Very much like brothers and sisters need different first names if they have the same family name. If multiple fonts do share the same family name, they have to be differentiated with style names. Style Name: on the right, by default ‘Regular’. Some apps may complain, list the font wrongly or not at all. Also for maximum compatibility, it is best to start the family name with a letter (A-Z, a-z), even though it is technically possible to start with a figure (0-9). For maximum compatibility, it is advisable to avoid a dash in the family name as well. No umlauts, accents or other non-ASCII special characters. You can use capitalization and word spaces, but do keep the family name short (less than 20 characters in total), and only use ASCII (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).

If multiple fonts share the same family name, they are grouped in the same font submenu, for instance in the font menus of apps like Adobe InDesign. They are the big letters on grey background at the top of the tab.įont Family Name: The words on the left, by default ‘new Font’, are your Font Family Name. The most important settings in your Font Info are two names: the Font Family Name and the Style Name.
