Myers Sans Bold



Larger, thicker text tends to be far easier to read, even against low-contrast backgrounds, than smaller, thinner text. For instance, in the following example, both lines of text are the same color, but if you can discern the text at all, it'll be easier to make out the top line of text, which is bigger and bolder:


.heading color:#ffffff;font:bold 16px open sans,arial,helvetica;background-color:#90121d; .section color:#000000;font:bold 12px open sans,arial,helvetica;background-color:#bbbbbb; .data color:#000000;font:12px open sans,arial,helvetica;background-color:#FFFFFF;


Arvo is a very good slab serif font family, created by Anton Koovit. It has 4 different variations, from normal weight and normal italic to bold italic. It is pretty rare to find a full Slab Serif web font family and this font gets pretty close to satisfying all of our needs for strong characters and high readability. Combined with a sans-serif body font, Arvo makes a great font for titles and subtitles.


We have noticed that Open Sans has become one of the most used fonts on the web. A lot of big-name brands are going through the process of cleaning up their websites and a lot of them go with Open Sans or Lato to offer high readability and friendly appearance. Open Sans has excellent legibility and its letterforms are incredibly strong with the very extensive font library, this font is a very strong substitute for default sans serif fonts.


If you are looking for a condensed sans serif font that looks like League Gothic, Oswald is the strongest contender. It is a great font that is inspired by the classic newspaper headlines, and was designed specifically for free use on the web and editorial materials.


Finally, the author's rejection of juche as the dominantideology is likely to be a point of contention for many. Myers contends thatjuche was important to portray Kim Il-sung as a great leader, just as greatas Mao Zedong was for China, but as a guiding ideology, it is "ipsofacto a sham" (p. 47). He further maintains that juche "decoysoutsiders away from the true dominant ideology ... an implacably xenophobic,race-based worldview derived largely from fascist Japanese myth" (p.47). Furthermore, juche "is rarely espoused or explained, having beenconceived primarily for the benefit of foreign audiences" (p. 87). Asthis is a bold deviation from previous studies, Myers has to dedicate moreeffort to explaining his position. More empirical evidence is necessary ifthe racial purity ideology is ever to be accepted as a mainstream explanationof regime legitimacy. Nevertheless, this study is one of the most thoroughtreatments of ideology in the North Korean regime and should be requiredreading for all those interested in North Korea, including foreign policyelites.


Font stacks generally include a bunch of different files, from extra-light italic through to extra-bold. Combining nine font weights with normal and italic variants produces 18 separate font files! Fonts that are not used on the page will not be downloaded, but for the odd occasion where only a single word is both bold and italic (for example) the whole font file will be downloaded to render the single word.


Browsers can make bold and italic versions of fonts themselves, this is called faux bold and faux italic. This could mean that a single regular weight font file is all you need! This should be tested and approved by any designers involved, I recommend a blind Coke vs. Pepsi style test to prevent any bias impacting the outcome.


There may be subtle differences between the browser's version of a bold font and the font creator's version, as shown above. For some fonts the differences will be too great to consider, especially fancy ones! You can check yours by simply removing the @font-face declarations for all but the regular font version and comparing screenshots of rendered text. 2ff7e9595c
