Fonts

printing and publishing, fonts are given names like Times or Helvetica
and qualities like serif or sans serif, font size (like 12 point or 14 point),
bold or italic, etc.:

On this sign, the following fonts — called [SS7], [SS5], and [SRF] —

are available:

Also, any of the sign’s fonts can be made bold (or wider) by using the
