Family information

History

This broad-edged pen design is related to other historically-based titling alphabets but offers a wider range of weights and widths, making it a versatile choice for movie titles, book jackets, posters, banners, and calendars. Waters Titling is rooted in the timeless Roman monumental inscription forms of 2000 years ago, but is infused with contemporary vigor and flair. This calligraphic design has strong contrast between its thick and thin strokes, and flowing serifs with subtle brackets. In its lighter weights the design is elegant and delicate, while the bolder weights offer substance and sparkle.

Menu Names And Style Linking

In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:

Waters Titling Pro Cond
Waters Titling Pro Light
Waters Titling Pro Light Cond
Waters Titling Pro Lt Semicond
Waters Titling Pro Regular
Waters Titling Pro Semicond

The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.

On the Mac OS, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft® Word and Adobe PageMaker®, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign®.

One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.
