字體在Adobe軟體字元面版中的呈現

工欲善其事,必先利其器,在設計師的職涯裡,Adobe軟體的使用一定是佔有一席之地,Adobe在推出Adobe Creative Cloud雲端軟體服務後,設計師們可以透過合理的價格,使用到Creative Cloud 完整應用程式裡20多款軟體,當中最常被使用到的Phothshop、InDesign、illustrator這三款軟體,我們來看看「字體」在這三款軟體的「字元」面版中呈現出哪些雷同與不雷同。

這三款軟體中,若要使用到字體,普遍上都會使用「字元」面版來查找合適風格、語言的字體做使用,但有沒有覺得使用上的體驗好像沒有不一樣,但又好像有哪裡一樣的感受呢?

據我們的觀察,確實,三款軟體對於字體在字元面版內容的呈現有以下些微的不同:

1. 字體語言的排序

2. 字體名稱的呈現

3. 可變式字體(變數字體/Variable Font)的呈現位置

「最近使用的字體」是字元面版下拉出來第一個出現的區塊,如上圖,我們就可以看到上述第二兩點所描述的不同處。InDesign在字體名稱的呈現與其他兩者不同在於繁體中文以外語言的字體,皆以英文字體名稱呈現,也就是說,今天我們若是在繁體中文作業系統使用繁體中文介面的InDesign,若排版文件需要使用到如簡體中文、日文等語言的字體,那我們可能就會辛苦一點,要去判讀此兩個語言的英文字體名稱來做字體的選用,還好Adobe在面版中,預設有字體造型sample的呈現,可以降低從英文字體名稱辨視字體的難度。

在常用字體區塊之後,基本上是依語言做字體順序的排序:

Phothshop:Emoji→繁體中文→拉丁→日文→韓文→複雜語言(Arabic, Hebrew, Devannagri, Thai…)簡體中文

InDesign:繁體中文→簡體中文→拉丁→日文→韓文→複雜語言(Arabic, Hebrew, Devannagri, Thai…) 

Illustrator:Variable Font→繁體中文→拉丁→日文→簡體中文→韓文→複雜語言(Arabic, Hebrew, Devannagri, Thai…) 

我們可以看到上方整理的資訊,Emoji與Variable Font排在語言使用之前,而Illustrator特別將Variable Font獨立出一個區塊,排在「最近使用的字體」之後的第二個順序做呈現,而Phothshop、InDesign則是把Variable Font和語言視為一個整體,混合在一起做排序。

 

這些都是使用上觀察而來的紀錄,而我們在這裡單純討論字體在字元面版上的呈現,UI設計不在探討範圍。

字體風味輪

文鼎是一家字型廠商,近幾年也陸續承接了許多字型配對的案件,主要都由英歐文字的需求開始,做中文、日文、韓文的字體搭配。以我們所處的環境,每天眼睛看到的繁體中文,對我們來說是最熟悉不過的文字,但是,對於文字來說,透過筆畫造型、字體結構等變數因子的設計,會產生許多不同風格的字體產品出來,茫茫字海中有沒有什麼方式可以讓使用者快速的找到所需使用的字體呢?

喜歡喝咖啡或常逛咖啡館的同好如果有注意到的話,應該會知道「咖啡風味輪(Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel)」,它時常以海報的形式掛在咖啡館中展示,如果沒有看過,有機會的話多走幾間咖啡館,留意一下牆面的海報,就會發現囉!我們參考咖啡風味輪的概念,將其延伸到字體來,以漢字為出發點,從以字型應用的角度,試圖將抽象的感受具體呈現出來,用圖像形式設計出一個具有感性、具有情感的字體分類系統,讓使用者需要以感受來選字時,可以透過字體風味輪找到對應的字體,減少找字體、選字體的時間。

感受這種東西是一種主觀性的認知,為了盡量找出符合大眾想法的感受,在繪製字體風味輪之前,研究團隊做了以下前期研究:

1. 研究咖啡風味輪期發展過程,是否有可借鏡之處?

2. 以人為單位,不同的個體對字體造型是否有共通感受?

3. 字體造型是否受到文化發展的影響

4. 越來越多的跨語系字型Matching,風味輪/個性輪的定義,是否對此有幫助?及智慧顯示的應用?

 

我們認為感受性的事物會因為人、事、時、地、物等因素而有不同,因此我們也藉由公開的投票系統,讓參與者參加字體風味輪分類的統計,讓字體風味輪不僅是一個圖像,而是能呼應外界的變化具有生命力的模型。

 

最後,整合我們所收集到的數據,將這些資料整合到字體的資料庫,讓每個字體都有自己的標籤分類形成字體風味輪。
