Enumeration: FontStyle

Defines font styles for text engraving widgets.

FontStyle determines the visual style of text in engraving widgets, allowing for different typography options.

In the context of product configuration, font styles affect how custom text appears when engraved or printed on products. Different styles can significantly change the aesthetic and feel of personalized text.

Enumeration Members​

italic​

italic: "italic"

Font will use italic style. Text appears slanted, usually with specially designed italic glyphs.

Italic style uses specifically designed slanted characters that often have different shapes than their normal counterparts. Italics are traditionally used for emphasis, foreign words, book titles, or to create a sense of movement or elegance. In product engraving, italics can add a touch of sophistication or personal flair.

Design characteristics:

  • Slanted character forms
  • Often features cursive-like elements
  • Specially designed glyphs (not just slanted normal characters)
  • More elegant and flowing appearance

normal​

normal: "normal"

Normal font style. Text appears in its regular form without any slanting.

Normal style is the standard, upright presentation of text. It's the most commonly used style for body text and provides optimal readability for longer text and smaller font sizes. In product engraving, it's often preferred for formal applications or when clarity is paramount.

Design characteristics:

  • Upright character forms
  • Standard character width
  • Maximum readability
  • Formal, traditional appearance

oblique​

oblique: "oblique"

Font will use oblique style. Text appears slanted, but typically using the regular glyphs that are just tilted.

Oblique style creates slanted text by simply tilting the normal character forms. Unlike true italics, oblique styles don't use specially designed alternative characters. This style provides a middle ground between normal and italic, offering some visual distinction without the full stylistic change of italics.

Design characteristics:

  • Mechanically slanted normal characters
  • Same basic shapes as normal style
  • Less stylistically different than true italics
  • More modern, technical appearance than italics
