Features
of Yale Design Italic
Yale
Design Italic is designed to support Yale design
professionals in their efforts to make the life
and work of the University visible to a broad
range of audiences. This font has the following
features:
|
 |
1.
Yale Design Italic has a full set of ligatures—ff, ffi, ffl, fi, and fl—with the special advantage
that all of them are accessible in the Design Italic
layout, precluding the need to resort to an “expert”
font. On a Mac keyboard, ff is “option =”; ffi is “option 5”; ffl is “shift option =”;
fi is “shift option 5”; and fl is “shift option 6.” (Refer to the Insert Symbol palette in Word to
access these ligatures on a PC keyboard.)
You must use the ligatures in this font to create
proper typesetting. However, when setting text with
many diacritical marks, we recommend that as necessary
you substitute the YaleAdmin-Italic lowercase f,
which is designed not to collide with accents.

2. The
various dashes—hyphen, em-dash, and en-dash—are sized and spaced so
that no further adjustment
is necessary. They should be set as they come, with
no extra spaces before or after.
Additional Info
This font comes with old-style figures because that is the standard for high-quality text typography. Aligning figures are available in the YaleAdmin-Italic font when needed for tabular work or when setting with all-cap material.
For additional guidance regarding the use of this font or for design or typographic advice, please contact John Gambell in the Office of the Yale University Printer.
