Outline, empty
Outline fonts, also known as vector fonts or scalable fonts, are digital fonts that are based on mathematical descriptions of geometric shapes instead of bitmap images. Each character in an outline font is defined by a set of lines, curves, and other geometric shapes that make up its outline.
The advantage of outline fonts is that they can be scaled up or down without losing their quality or becoming pixelated. This makes them ideal for use in high-resolution printing, such as in professional graphic design or publishing applications. They are also commonly used in digital media, such as websites and mobile applications, where they can be displayed on screens of varying sizes and resolutions.
Outline fonts can be created using specialized font design software or by converting existing bitmap fonts into vector-based outlines. Once created, they can be saved in a variety of file formats, including TrueType, OpenType, and PostScript, which can be used across multiple operating systems and applications.
Some popular examples of outline fonts include Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Arial. These fonts are commonly used in a variety of applications, including desktop publishing, graphic design, and web design.
