Description
Designed by Adobe in 1985, Symbol is a versatile display font that contains both an unaccented Greek alphabet and commonly used mathematical symbols. With its distinctive design inspired by Times New Roman, it has become one of the standard fonts available on PostScript-based printers. Although non-standard for continuous text, its unique character set makes it ideal for typesetting mathematical expressions, particularly in scientific and academic publications. Due to differences between Adobe and Apple versions, it's essential to understand the nuances when choosing which version to use in your designs.

Best Use Cases

  • Website and app interfaces
  • Editorial design
  • Corporate branding

Usage Instructions

Symbol can be used effectively in user interfaces, editorial design projects requiring mathematical symbols or Greek characters, and corporate branding contexts where mathematical expressions are essential. To maintain clarity and readability, use Symbol sparingly and strategically, ensuring it complements the overall design aesthetic.
