Typography

Ligature

A typographic glyph that combines two or more characters into one.

Why it matters

Ligature is part of the typography phase of a print job. Marketers who understand it can brief printers more clearly and avoid costly proofing rounds.

In your workflow

  • Confirm specifications with your printer before file delivery.
  • Document standards in your brand guidelines so every job is consistent.
  • Always request a hard proof for large runs.
