            ## An Announcement


            The experimental user interface toolkit being built at

            
            [`golang.org/x/exp/shiny`](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp/shiny)

            
            includes several text elements, but there is a problem with testing them:

            
            What font should be used?

            
            Answering this question led us to today's announcement,

            
            the release of a family of high-quality [WGL4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Glyph_List_4) TrueType fonts,

            
            created by the [Bigelow & Holmes](http://bigelowandholmes.typepad.com/) type foundry specifically for the Go project.


            The font family, called Go (naturally), includes proportional- and fixed-width faces in normal,

            
            bold, and italic renderings.

            
            The fonts have been tested for technical uses, particularly programming.

            
            Go source code looks particularly good when displayed in Go fonts, as its name implies, with things like

            
            punctuation characters easily distinguishable and operators lined up and placed consistently:


            .image go-fonts/go-font-code.png _ 519


            Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Go fonts is their license:

            
            They are licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software,

            
            an unusually free arrangement for a high-quality font set.


            Here are samples of the proportionally-spaced...

            and monospaced fonts:


            .image go-fonts/go-mono.png _ 600


            ## How to use them


            If you just want the TTF files, run


            	git clone https://go.googlesource.com/image


            and copy them from the subsequent `image/font/gofont/ttfs` directory.

            
            If you want to use Go (the fonts) with Go (the software), each font is provided by a separate package.

            
            To use the Go Regular font in a program, import `golang.org/x/image/font/gofont/goregular`, and write:


            	font, err := truetype.Parse(goregular.TTF)


            The [`github.com/golang/freetype/truetype`](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/freetype/truetype)

            
            package provides the [`truetype.Parse`](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/freetype/truetype#Parse) function today.

            
            There is also work underway to add a TrueType package under `golang.org/x`

            
            again licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software.


            We leave it to you to find some of the other unusual properties the fonts have,

            
            but for an overview of the fonts' design we asked Chuck Bigelow to provide some background.

            
            The remainder of this blog post is his response.


            ## Notes on the fonts, by Chuck Bigelow


            The Go fonts are divided into two sets, Go proportional, which is

            
            sans-serif, and Go Mono, which is slab-serif.


            ## Go proportional fonts


            ### Sans-serif


            Go proportional fonts are sans-serif, like several popular fonts

            
            for screen displays. There is some evidence that some sans-serif

            
            faces at small sizes and low resolutions on screens are slightly

            
            more legible than their seriffed counterparts, while at large sizes,

            
            there is not a significant difference in legibility between sans and

            
            seriffed faces, at least in the pair tested. [1] (The bracketed numbers

            
            refer to the references listed at the end of this article.)


            ### Style


            Go sans-serif fonts are "humanist" rather than "grotesque" in

            
            style. This is an historical distinction, not an aesthetic judgment.

            
            Widely used sans-serif fonts like Helvetica and Arial are called

            
            grotesque because an early 19th century sans-serif typeface

            
            was named "Grotesque," and the name became generic.


            The shapes of modern grotesque fonts like Helvetica are sculpted,

            
            with smooth, assimilated forms.


            Humanist sans-serifs are derived from Humanist handwriting

            
            and early fonts of the Italian Renaissance and still show subtle

            
            traces of pen-written calligraphy. There is some evidence that

            
            humanist fonts are more legible than grotesque fonts. [2]


            ### Italics


            Go proportional italics have the same width metrics as the roman

            
            fonts. Go italics are oblique versions of the romans, with one

            
            noticeable exception: the italic lowercase 'a' is redesigned as a

            
            cursive single-story form to harmonize with the bowl shapes of

            
            the b d g p q set, in which the upright forms also adapt well to

            
            slanting, The addition of cursive 'a' makes the italics appear more

            
            lively than a simply slanted roman. Some typographers believe that

            
            slanted roman sans-serif italics are preferable to truly "cursive" sans

            
            Italics, in part because of history and design. [3]


            .image go-fonts/abdgpq-proportional.png


            ### The x-height


            The x-height of a typeface is the height of the lowercase 'x' relative

            
            to the body size. The x-height of Go fonts is 53.0% of body size, a

            
            bit larger than the x-heights of Helvetica (52.3%) or Arial (51.9%),

            
            but the difference is usually unnoticeable at normal reading sizes.

            
            Typographers believe that larger x-heights contribute to greater

            
            legibility in small sizes and on screens. A study of "print size"

            
            (particularly x-height) and reading noted that types for reading on

            
            screens and for small sizes tend to have large x-heights. [4]


            ### DIN Legibility Standard


            The recent German DIN 1450 legibility standard recommends

            
            several features for font legibility, including differentiation of

            
            letter shapes to reduce confusion. The Go fonts conform to the

            
            1450 standard by carefully differentiating zero from capital O;

            
            numeral 1 from capital I (eye) and lowercase l (ell); numeral 5 from

            
            capital S; and numeral 8 from capital B. The shapes of bowls of

            
            b d p q follow the natural asymmetries of legible Renaissance

            
            handwriting, aiding differentiation to reduce confusion. [5]


            ### Weights


            The Go proportional fonts come in three weights: Normal, Medium,

            
            and Bold. The Normal weight is strong enough that it maintains

            
            clarity on backlit screens, which often tend to erode letter features

            
            and thickness. The Medium weight has stem thickness 1.25 times

            
            the Normal, for greater sturdiness on bright screens or for users

            
            who prefer a sturdy font. The Bold weight has stem thickness

            
            1.5 times the Normal, bold enough to be distinct from the normal

            
            weight. These Go fonts have CSS numerical weights of 400, 500,

            
            and 600. Although CSS specifies "Bold" as a 700 weight and 600

            
            as Semibold or Demibold, the Go numerical weights match the

            
            actual progression of the ratios of stem thicknesses:

            
            Normal:Medium = 400:500; Normal:Bold = 400:600. The Bold

            
            weight name matches the use of “Bold” as the usual corresponding

            
            bold weight of a normal font. More discussion of the relationship of

            
            stem thicknesses, weight names, and CSS numbering is in [6].


            ### WGL4 character set


            The WGL4 character set, originally developed by Microsoft, is often

            
            used as an informal standard character set. WGL4 includes Western

            
            and Eastern European Latin characters plus Modern Greek and

            
            Cyrillic, with additional symbols, signs, and graphical characters,

            
            totalling more than 650 characters in all. The Go WGL4 fonts can

            
            be used to compose a wide range of languages. [7]


            ### Metric compatibility with Arial and Helvetica


            The Go sans-serif fonts are nearly metrically compatible with

            
            standard Helvetica or Arial characters. Texts set in Go occupy

            
            nearly the same space as texts in Helvetica or Arial (at the same

            
            size), but Go has a different look and texture because of its

            
            humanist style. Some Go letters with DIN legibility features are

            
            wider than corresponding letters in Helvetica or Arial, so some

            
            texts set in Go may take slightly more space.


            ## Go Mono fonts


            ### Monospaced


            Go Mono fonts are monospaced—each letter has the same width as

            
            the other letters. Monospaced fonts have been used in programming

            
            since the beginning of computing and are still widely used because the

            
            typewriter regularity of their spacing makes text align in columns and

            
            rows, a style also found in Greek inscriptions of the 5th century BC.

            
            (The ancient Greeks didn't have typewriters or computer keyboards,

            
            but they did have great mathematicians and a great sense of symmetry

            
            and pattern that shaped their alphabet.)


            ### Slab-serif


            The Go Mono fonts have slab-shaped serifs, giving them a sturdy

            
            appearance.


            ### Style


            The underlying letter shapes of Go Mono are, like the Go sans-serif fonts,

            
            derived from humanist handwriting, but the monospacing and slab serifs

            
            tend to obscure the historical and stylistic connections.


            ### Italics


            Go Mono Italics are oblique versions of the romans, with the exception

            
            that the italic lowercase 'a' is redesigned as a cursive single-story form

            
            to harmonize with the bowl shapes of the b d g p q. The cursive 'a' makes

            
            the italics appear more lively than a simply slanted roman. As with many

            
            sans-serif fonts, it is believed that slanted roman slab-serifs fonts may

            
            be more legible than truly "cursive" italics.


            .image go-fonts/abdgpq-mono.png


            ### The x-height


            Go Mono fonts have the same x-height as Go sans-serif fonts, 53% of

            
            the body size. Go Mono looks almost 18% bigger than Courier, which

            
            has an x-height 45% of body size. Yet Go Mono has the same width

            
            as Courier, so the bigger look is gained with no loss of economy in

            
            characters per line.


            ### DIN Legibility Standard


            Go Mono fonts conform to the DIN 1450 standard by differentiating

            
            zero from capital O; numeral 1 from capital I (eye) and lowercase l (ell);

            
            numeral 5 from capital S; and numeral 8 from capital B. The shapes of

            
            bowls of b d p q follow the natural asymmetries of legible Renaissance

            
            handwriting, aiding differentiation and reducing confusion.


            ### Weights


            Go Mono fonts have two weights: Normal and Bold. The normal weight

            
            stem is the same as in Go Normal and thus maintains clarity on backlit

            
            screens, which tend to erode letter features and stem thickness. The

            
            bold stem thickness is 1.5 times thicker than the normal weight, hence

            
            the Bold Mono has the same stem thickness as Bold Go proportional.

            
            Because the letter width of monospaced bold is identical to the width of

            
            monospaced normal, the bold Mono appears slightly bolder than the

            
            proportional Go Bold, as more black pixels are put into the same area.)


            ### Metric compatibility with popular monospaced fonts


            Go Mono is metrically compatible with Courier and other monospaced

            
            fonts that match the "Pica" typewriter type widths of 10 characters per

            
            linear inch at 12 point. At 10 point, Go Mono fonts set 12 characters

            
            per inch. The TrueType fonts are scalable, of course, so Go Mono can

            
            be set at any size.


            ### WGL4 character set


            The Go Mono fonts offer the WGL4 character set often used as an

            
            informal standard character set. WGL4 includes Western and Eastern

            
            European Latin characters plus Modern Greek and Cyrillic, with

            
            additional symbols, signs, and graphical characters. The 650+ characters

            
            of the Go WGL4 sets can be used for a wide range of languages.

	The experimental user interface toolkit being built at
	[`golang.org/x/exp/shiny`](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp/shiny)
	includes several text elements, but there is a problem with testing them:
	What font should be used?
	Answering this question led us to today's announcement,
	the release of a family of high-quality [WGL4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Glyph_List_4) TrueType fonts,
	created by the [Bigelow & Holmes](http://bigelowandholmes.typepad.com/) type foundry specifically for the Go project.

	The font family, called Go (naturally), includes proportional- and fixed-width faces in normal,
	bold, and italic renderings.
	The fonts have been tested for technical uses, particularly programming.
	Go source code looks particularly good when displayed in Go fonts, as its name implies, with things like
	punctuation characters easily distinguishable and operators lined up and placed consistently:

	Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Go fonts is their license:
	They are licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software,
	an unusually free arrangement for a high-quality font set.

	Here are samples of the proportionally-spaced...

	.image go-fonts/go-regular.png _ 600

	and monospaced fonts:

	.image go-fonts/go-mono.png _ 600

	## How to use them

	If you just want the TTF files, run

	git clone https://go.googlesource.com/image

	and copy them from the subsequent `image/font/gofont/ttfs` directory.
	If you want to use Go (the fonts) with Go (the software), each font is provided by a separate package.
	To use the Go Regular font in a program, import `golang.org/x/image/font/gofont/goregular`, and write:

	font, err := truetype.Parse(goregular.TTF)

	The [`github.com/golang/freetype/truetype`](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/freetype/truetype)
	package provides the [`truetype.Parse`](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/freetype/truetype#Parse) function today.
	There is also work underway to add a TrueType package under `golang.org/x`
	again licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software.

	We leave it to you to find some of the other unusual properties the fonts have,
	but for an overview of the fonts' design we asked Chuck Bigelow to provide some background.
	The remainder of this blog post is his response.

	## Notes on the fonts, by Chuck Bigelow

	The Go fonts are divided into two sets, Go proportional, which is
	sans-serif, and Go Mono, which is slab-serif.

	## Go proportional fonts

	### Sans-serif

	Go proportional fonts are sans-serif, like several popular fonts
	for screen displays. There is some evidence that some sans-serif
	faces at small sizes and low resolutions on screens are slightly
	more legible than their seriffed counterparts, while at large sizes,
	there is not a significant difference in legibility between sans and
	seriffed faces, at least in the pair tested. [1] (The bracketed numbers
	refer to the references listed at the end of this article.)

	### Style

	Go sans-serif fonts are "humanist" rather than "grotesque" in
	style. This is an historical distinction, not an aesthetic judgment.
	Widely used sans-serif fonts like Helvetica and Arial are called
	grotesque because an early 19th century sans-serif typeface
	was named "Grotesque," and the name became generic.

	The shapes of modern grotesque fonts like Helvetica are sculpted,
	with smooth, assimilated forms.

	Humanist sans-serifs are derived from Humanist handwriting
	and early fonts of the Italian Renaissance and still show subtle
	traces of pen-written calligraphy. There is some evidence that
	humanist fonts are more legible than grotesque fonts. [2]

	### Italics

	Go proportional italics have the same width metrics as the roman
	fonts. Go italics are oblique versions of the romans, with one
	noticeable exception: the italic lowercase 'a' is redesigned as a
	cursive single-story form to harmonize with the bowl shapes of
	the b d g p q set, in which the upright forms also adapt well to
	slanting, The addition of cursive 'a' makes the italics appear more
	lively than a simply slanted roman. Some typographers believe that
	slanted roman sans-serif italics are preferable to truly "cursive" sans
	Italics, in part because of history and design. [3]

	### The x-height

	The x-height of a typeface is the height of the lowercase 'x' relative
	to the body size. The x-height of Go fonts is 53.0% of body size, a
	bit larger than the x-heights of Helvetica (52.3%) or Arial (51.9%),
	but the difference is usually unnoticeable at normal reading sizes.
	Typographers believe that larger x-heights contribute to greater
	legibility in small sizes and on screens. A study of "print size"
	(particularly x-height) and reading noted that types for reading on
	screens and for small sizes tend to have large x-heights. [4]

	### DIN Legibility Standard

	The recent German DIN 1450 legibility standard recommends
	several features for font legibility, including differentiation of
	letter shapes to reduce confusion. The Go fonts conform to the
	1450 standard by carefully differentiating zero from capital O;
	numeral 1 from capital I (eye) and lowercase l (ell); numeral 5 from
	capital S; and numeral 8 from capital B. The shapes of bowls of
	b d p q follow the natural asymmetries of legible Renaissance
	handwriting, aiding differentiation to reduce confusion. [5]

	### Weights

	The Go proportional fonts come in three weights: Normal, Medium,
	and Bold. The Normal weight is strong enough that it maintains
	clarity on backlit screens, which often tend to erode letter features
	and thickness. The Medium weight has stem thickness 1.25 times
	the Normal, for greater sturdiness on bright screens or for users
	who prefer a sturdy font. The Bold weight has stem thickness
	1.5 times the Normal, bold enough to be distinct from the normal
	weight. These Go fonts have CSS numerical weights of 400, 500,
	and 600. Although CSS specifies "Bold" as a 700 weight and 600
	as Semibold or Demibold, the Go numerical weights match the
	actual progression of the ratios of stem thicknesses:
	Normal:Medium = 400:500; Normal:Bold = 400:600. The Bold
	weight name matches the use of “Bold” as the usual corresponding
	bold weight of a normal font. More discussion of the relationship of
	stem thicknesses, weight names, and CSS numbering is in [6].

	### WGL4 character set

	The WGL4 character set, originally developed by Microsoft, is often
	used as an informal standard character set. WGL4 includes Western
	and Eastern European Latin characters plus Modern Greek and
	Cyrillic, with additional symbols, signs, and graphical characters,
	totalling more than 650 characters in all. The Go WGL4 fonts can
	be used to compose a wide range of languages. [7]

	### Metric compatibility with Arial and Helvetica

	The Go sans-serif fonts are nearly metrically compatible with
	standard Helvetica or Arial characters. Texts set in Go occupy
	nearly the same space as texts in Helvetica or Arial (at the same
	size), but Go has a different look and texture because of its
	humanist style. Some Go letters with DIN legibility features are
	wider than corresponding letters in Helvetica or Arial, so some
	texts set in Go may take slightly more space.

	## Go Mono fonts

	### Monospaced

	Go Mono fonts are monospaced—each letter has the same width as
	the other letters. Monospaced fonts have been used in programming
	since the beginning of computing and are still widely used because the
	typewriter regularity of their spacing makes text align in columns and
	rows, a style also found in Greek inscriptions of the 5th century BC.
	(The ancient Greeks didn't have typewriters or computer keyboards,
	but they did have great mathematicians and a great sense of symmetry
	and pattern that shaped their alphabet.)

	### Slab-serif

	The Go Mono fonts have slab-shaped serifs, giving them a sturdy
	appearance.

	### Style

	The underlying letter shapes of Go Mono are, like the Go sans-serif fonts,
	derived from humanist handwriting, but the monospacing and slab serifs
	tend to obscure the historical and stylistic connections.

	### Italics

	Go Mono Italics are oblique versions of the romans, with the exception
	that the italic lowercase 'a' is redesigned as a cursive single-story form
	to harmonize with the bowl shapes of the b d g p q. The cursive 'a' makes
	the italics appear more lively than a simply slanted roman. As with many
	sans-serif fonts, it is believed that slanted roman slab-serifs fonts may
	be more legible than truly "cursive" italics.

	.image go-fonts/abdgpq-mono.png

	### The x-height

	Go Mono fonts have the same x-height as Go sans-serif fonts, 53% of
	the body size. Go Mono looks almost 18% bigger than Courier, which
	has an x-height 45% of body size. Yet Go Mono has the same width
	as Courier, so the bigger look is gained with no loss of economy in
	characters per line.

	### DIN Legibility Standard

	Go Mono fonts conform to the DIN 1450 standard by differentiating
	zero from capital O; numeral 1 from capital I (eye) and lowercase l (ell);
	numeral 5 from capital S; and numeral 8 from capital B. The shapes of
	bowls of b d p q follow the natural asymmetries of legible Renaissance
	handwriting, aiding differentiation and reducing confusion.

	### Weights

	Go Mono fonts have two weights: Normal and Bold. The normal weight
	stem is the same as in Go Normal and thus maintains clarity on backlit
	screens, which tend to erode letter features and stem thickness. The
	bold stem thickness is 1.5 times thicker than the normal weight, hence
	the Bold Mono has the same stem thickness as Bold Go proportional.
	Because the letter width of monospaced bold is identical to the width of
	monospaced normal, the bold Mono appears slightly bolder than the
	proportional Go Bold, as more black pixels are put into the same area.)

	### Metric compatibility with popular monospaced fonts

	Go Mono is metrically compatible with Courier and other monospaced
	fonts that match the "Pica" typewriter type widths of 10 characters per
	linear inch at 12 point. At 10 point, Go Mono fonts set 12 characters
	per inch. The TrueType fonts are scalable, of course, so Go Mono can
	be set at any size.

	### WGL4 character set

	The Go Mono fonts offer the WGL4 character set often used as an
	informal standard character set. WGL4 includes Western and Eastern
	European Latin characters plus Modern Greek and Cyrillic, with
	additional symbols, signs, and graphical characters. The 650+ characters
	of the Go WGL4 sets can be used for a wide range of languages.
