Type 1 Font
A Type 1 font, also known as PostScript fonts, are a type of digital font developed by Adobe in the 1980s. They are scalable, meaning they can be resized without losing quality, making them ideal for printing and professional design. These fonts consist of outlines that define the shapes of characters, allowing for precise rendering at any size. Type 1 fonts were widely used in desktop publishing before being succeeded by more modern font formats. They are known for high-quality typography and compatibility with PostScript-compatible devices and software.
