Typographic info for the Impact font family
learn.microsoft.com →Geoffrey Lee designed this face, first issued in 1965 by the famous Sheffield foundry, Stephenson Blake. The mid-1960s marked the height of a fashion for bold condensed faces that probably originated when Paris Match cut up prints of the Schmalfette Grotesk font, which had been drawn by Walter Haettenschweiler. Because Impact was less condensed than Schmalfette, designers often used the two fonts together as companion faces. Even without Schmalfette, you can use Impact for, well, impact. Version 2.35 - This version includes some minor table updates, but no new glyphs. Version 2.30 - Impact version 2.30 extends the WGL4 version to include the euro currency symbol. This typeface is also available within Office applications. For more information visit this page. Want to try using Ask Learn to clarify or guide you through this topic?

Impact è un carattere creato nel 1965 da e realizzato dalla fonderia Stephenson Blake. I suoi tratti spessi, gli spazi tra le lettere compressi e la sua controforma interna minima sono particolarmente tesi, come suggerisce il nome, per "impattare". Il font ha un'altezza x che raggiunge quasi i tre quarti della linea principale. Le sembianze sono principalmente destinate a titoli ed il carattere ha un utilizzo limitato nelle applicazioni di testo. Le stesse portano a comparare Impact con caratteri simili, come l', il , e l'Helvetica Inserat. Nel luglio 2010 la introdusse una versione di Impact avanzata. Includeva funzionalità OpenType estese, progettate da e . Impact fa parte dei Core fonts for the Web ed è incluso in Mac OS X Tiger.
