The term "serif" refers to the short lines that stem from
and are located at an angle to the upper and lower ends of the
strokes of a letter. "Sans serif" refers to type styles without
these flourishes, while "simple serif" type may include styles
01-00679 -4-
with some, but not excessive, additional lines. Many letter
styles fall within these broad, generic categories, and new
styles are frequently created. Thus, a comprehensive listing
would be impossible. The intention of the regulation is to
provide design professionals with the ability to exercise their
professional and aesthetic judgment within these general
guidelines.
12. Ms. Yara inquires ". . . where are upper case letters
required and lower case letters allowed?"
Upper case letters are required for all signs subject to the
requirements of S4.30.4. Section 4.1.2(7) requires " . . . signs
which designate permanent rooms and spaces . . ." to comply with
S4.30.4. Please refer to the discussion of permanent signs at
number 4 above.
13. Ms. Yara asks whether the S4.30.4 requirement that the
border dimension of a pictogram must be six inches minimum in
height refers to the size of the pictogram or to the overall
dimension of the sign. It refers to the overall dimension of the
sign. The edge of the plate is considered to be the border and
no separate border or frame is required.
