  “Maar lettertypes
  zitten toch gewoon in
  mijn computer?!”
                                           “Rest nog de opmerking dat alle eigenschappen van letters
                                           door iemand bedacht en gemaakt moeten worden. En die zal
                                           daar meer toe geneigd zijn als daarvoor betaald wordt. Letters

Developed at the Haas typefoundry in Münchenstein,
Switzerland, to compete with the sans-serif typeface
Akzidenz Grotesk, it has succeeded in becoming the
most popular typeface in the world. It was originally
named “Neue Haas Grotesk”, but was renamed
Helvetica (from the Latin name for Switzerland) by
the German Stempel foundry when they produced
versions in 1961. Designers: Max Miedinger and
Eduard Hoffmann, designed in: 1956 - 1958.

Rick Poynor: Type is saying things to us all the time. Typefaces express
a mood, an atmosphere. They give words a certain coloring. Massimo
Vignelli: You can say, ‘I love you,’ in Helvetica. And you can say it
with Helvetica Extra Light if you want to be really fancy. Or you can
say it with the Extra Bold if it’s really intensive and passionate, you
know, and it might work. Wim Crouwel: The meaning is in the con-
tent of the text and not in the typeface, and that is why we loved
Helvetica very much. Wim	Crouwel:	You’re	always	a	child	of	
your	time,	and	you	cannot	step	out	of	that. Erik Spiekermann:
It’s air, you know. It’s just there. There’s no choice. You
have to breathe, so you have to use Helvetica.

Bij het kiezen kun je je laten leiden door:

onderzoek, functie, inhoud, leesbaarheid,
attentiewaarde, traditie, gewoonte, regels,
techniek, huisstijl, medium, esthetiek, sfeer,
gevoel, harmonie, trends, originaliteit of
persoonlijke voorkeuren
keuze	>	hoe?
onderzoek > onderwerp / medium / materiaal / huisstijl
functie > handleiding / omslag tijdschrift / binnenwerk roman
inhoud > hangt samen met functie: belastingformulier versus dichtbundel
leesbaarheid > staat voorop maar attentiewaarde en originaliteit kunnen voorrang
krijgen. Leesbaarheid is afhankelijk van: lettertype, lettergrootte, letterspatiëring, inter-
linie, afbrekingen, uitlijning, aantal letters per regel, aantal regels per pagina, kleur van
de letter, kleur van de achtergrond, structuur van de achtergrond.
attentiewaarde > attentiewaarde hangt af van context en omgeving
affiche / billboard / advertentie krant / advertentie magazine
traditie > gewenning en gewoonte: biedt soms houvast
keuze	.	
regels > er zijn dingen die je niet doet, bijvoorbeeld letters schuintrekken, letters te veel
afspatiëren. Regels wat typografie betreft komen uit traditie voort en gaan over maatver-
houdingen, letterkeuze, hiërarchie, interlinie, plaatsing van afbeeldingen en microtypogra-
fie (inspringingen, afbrekingen, nootcijfers, superieure cijfers, mediaevalcijfers, kleinkapi-
talen, etc.). Kennis van de regels leidt eerder tot vrijheid dan tot beperking. Als je ze niet
of niet helemaal volgt, moet je daar een gefundeerde reden voor hebben.
techniek > website / boek / grafsteen / lichtkrant / film
originaliteit > is geen doel maar (soms) een middel om attentiewaarde te verhogen
persoonlijke voorkeuren > aan jou om die te laten meewegen of niet.
