Font of the Week 

About Prompt 

This week, I discovered a great sans serif, Prompt. Prompt, consisting of Latin and Non-Latin characters, was initially designed to work with Non-Latin, loopless Thai Alphabets –– a more modernized, simplified version of traditional Thai alphabets.

With this consideration in mind, Prompt is designed with wider letter width and enlarged negative spaces in its counter shapes to balance its Thai alphabet counterparts. These design features also make the font look modern and stylish. Wider sans serifs have been popular with fashion blogs and editorial lookbooks.

How to use Prompt for logo?

Prompt is perfect for creative projects, editorials, and fashion blogs. The wide sans-serif letters feel stylish and contemporary. The bolder weights, like Medium, Bold, and Extra Bold, are perfect for logos.

How to use Prompt for marketing and branding?

Because of Prompt’s wide letter width, it is perfect to use as a display font for headers and subheads. Because the letters are wider and take more horizontal space, Prompt is great for graphics with short pullout quotes or display copies. It can also be used for reading text. Pairing with a similar, but less wide font, like Roboto could work better for a reading font.

Typography Jargon Buster!

Serif 

Serifs are letterforms with small lines or strokes, or “serifs,” attached at the end of larger strokes. Serifs originated from inscriptional lettering: Words were first painted with a brush, then carved into stones in Roman antiquity. Serifs are classified into several smaller categories: Old Style, Transitional, Modern, and Slab Serif.
