NoteIn Firefox, the preferences gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay and gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay_short provide the duration of the "short" and "extremely small" periods, respectively.

The font display timeline is based on a timer that begins the moment the user agent attempts to use a given downloaded font face. The timeline is divided into the three periods below which dictate the rendering behavior of any elements using the font face:

A display typeface is a typeface that is intended for use in display type (display copy) at large sizes for titles, headings, pull quotes, and other eye-catching elements, rather than for extended passages of body text.[1]

Display typefaces will often have more eccentric and variable designs than the simple, relatively restrained typefaces generally used for body text.[2][3][4][5] They may take inspiration from other genres of lettering, such as handpainted signs, calligraphy or an aesthetic appropriate to their use, perhaps ornamented, exotic, abstracted or drawn in the style of a different writing system.[6][7][8]

Several genres of font are particularly associated with display setting, such as slab serif, script font, reverse-contrast and to a lesser extent sans serif.[9][10] Walter Tracy defines display typefaces in the metal type sense as "sizes of type over 14 point" and in design that "text types when enlarged can be used for headings, display types, if reduced, cannot be used for text setting."[11]

For the first centuries of printing, display type generally did not exist. Printing was used primarily to print body text, although there might be use of some larger-sized letters for titling. Typefaces not intended for body text remained rooted in conventional letterforms: roman type, script typeface or blackletter. Signs were created as custom handlettering.[14]

The arrival of the poster and greater use of signage spurred the arrival of new kinds of letterform, both as lettering and in print.[14] Historian James Mosley has written that "big types had been cast in sand, using wooden patterns, for some centuries [by 1750] but there is evidence that English typefounders only began to make big letters for posters and other commercial printing towards 1770, when Thomas Cottrell made his 'Proscription or Posting letter of great bulk and dimension' and William Caslon II cast his 'Patagonian' or 'Proscription letters'."[15][16][17]

New technologies, notably riveted "sanspareil" matrices made printing at large sizes easier from the beginning of the nineteenth century.[18] At the same time, new designs of letter began to appear around the beginning of the nineteenth century, such as "fat face" typefaces (based on serif faces of the period, but much bolder),[19][20] slab serifs (first seen from Vincent Figgins around 1817),[21][22] sans-serifs (already used in custom lettering but effectively unused in printing before the 1830s)[23] and new blackletter faces.[24] Many nineteenth-century display typefaces were extremely, aggressively bold or condensed in order to attract attention. An important development that followed was pantograph-engraved wood type, which allowed cheap printing of large type on posters. Equally, some display typefaces such as Cochin and Koch-Antiqua have a particularly delicate build with a low x-height, and this style was very popular around the start of the twentieth century.[11]

In the past, almost all decorative lettering other than that on paper was created as custom or hand-painted lettering. The use of fonts in place of lettering has increased due to new printing methods, phototypesetting, and digital typesetting, which allow fonts to be printed at any desired size. This has made it possible to use fonts in situations where before hand-lettering would be most common, such as on business logos and metal fabricated lettering.[25][26][27][28] As a result, many modern digital typeface families such as Neutraface, Neue Haas Grotesk, and Arno include both text styles and display companion optical sizes with a more delicate design.[29][30][31][32] Walter Tracy comments that in adapting a text face to display use such as in a headline "a judicious closing-up of the letters" improves the appearance.[11]

A more prosaic genre of "display typefaces" is those intended for signage, such as Johnston, Highway Gothic, Transport and Clearview. These often have adaptations to increase legibility and make letters more distinct from each other. For example, Johnston and Transport have a curl on the lower-case 'L' to distinguish it from an upper-case 'i'.[42]

In German the term "Akzidenzschrift" is used for faces not intended for body text but for commercial or trade printing, without implying a specific size range, so including small-size sans-serifs in uses such as on forms or tickets. The famous sans-serif Akzidenz-Grotesk's name derives from this. Akzidenz means some occasion or event (in the sense of "something that happens", not in the sense of a high-class social event or occasion)[43] and was therefore used as a term for trade printing; Akzidenzschrift was by the 1870s a generic term meaning typefaces intended for these uses.[43][44] A modern German-language dictionary describes it as work such as advertisements and forms.[45][46] The origin of the word is Latin accidentia, defined by Lewis and Short as "that which happens, a casual event, a chance".[43][47]

Tip: You will find a preview of the change of your font and display sizes after you've set each slider to your preferred size and if you don't like it, to reset your settings, tap Reset settings. Your display size and text preferences will reset to the original setting of your device.

Then came the @font-face rule which gave web designers and front-end developers new typographical powers unlike ever before. It allowed us to upload font files to a server and write a set of rules in our stylesheets that name the font and tell the browser where to download the files. It also gave rise to services like Google Fonts which brought custom fonts to the masses. Finally, a major hurdle that separated web design from print design had been toppled!

However, custom fonts came (and continue to come) at a cost. Font files can be large and the extra time to download the files can slow the performance of a site, particularly for devices on a slower network connection. The extra cost to users on limited data plans also became a factor.

Neither FOUT nor FOIT is great. We have ways to optimize the performance of custom fonts to help ease the effects. However, now we have font-display to tell the browser whether we prefer FOUT, FOIT, or even something in between.

Deciding the behavior for a web font as it is loading can be animportant performance tuning technique. The new font-display descriptor for@font-face lets developers decide how their web fonts will render (or fallback),depending on how long it takes for them to load.

To mitigate some of the risk of a slow font download, most browsers implement atimeout after which a fallback font will be used. This is a useful technique butunfortunately browsers differ on the actual implementation.

To make matters worse, developers have limited control in deciding how theserules will affect their application. A performance minded developer may preferto have a faster initial experience that uses a fallback font, and only leveragethe nicer web font on subsequent visits after it has had a chance to download.Using tools like the Font Loading API, it may be possible to override some ofthe default browser behaviors and achieve performance gains, but it comes at thecost of needing to write non-trivial amounts of JavaScript which must then beinlined into the page or requested from an external file, incurring additionalHTTP latency.

To help remedy this situation the CSS Working Group has proposed a new@font-face descriptor, font-display, and a corresponding property forcontrolling how a downloadable font renders before it is fully loaded.

block gives the font face a short block period (3s is recommended in most cases)and an infinite swap period. In other words, the browser draws "invisible" textat first if the font is not loaded, but swaps the font face in as soon as itloads. To do this the browser creates an anonymous font face with metricssimilar to the selected font but with all glyphs containing no "ink."This value should only be used if rendering text in a particular typefaceis required for the page to be useable.

Display fonts are not suitable for running text; therefore, they are used together with text fonts. Display typefaces have more eccentric, expressive designs, even if designed to complement a text font.

In the TypeType collection, there is a variety of display fonts with different styles and moods. Each font has its own peculiarities and visual features. The most popular display fonts made by TypeType are TT Travels Next, TT Ricordi Marmo, TT Globs, and TT Fors. Among the unusual ones, you will find TT Geekette, TT Frantz, and TT Milks.

Matthieu Salvaggio is a French type designer and art director who founded Blaze Type in 2016. Since then, he has been involved in the design and production of an internationally recognized font catalog, advocating for more transparency in the font licensing system and type design education.

This has been a pain in the b**t since we started working with Figma two years ago.

Automatic detection of font-weights might be prone to errors to begin with since many fonts might not have corresponding font-weight numbers embedded? Figma how about you give designers the ability to define corresponding font-weights manually that show up in Dev-Mode / inspect panel?
