R U L E S The Altemus Collection allows you to make an almost endless selection of distinctive rules. Because each of the designs is a character in a font, they move with your text when you make editing changes. You can achieve very different effects, even when using a single character design. For example use standard typographic controls to; expand or condense (right), track out or kern in. Use the designs at different point sizes or intermix them seamlessly with character designs in any of the other fonts in the Collection. This showing represents only a fraction of the rules that can be created using the Collection. The sample rules at left, just some of the many variations possible, using Altemus Borders, Rules, Checks and Cuts fonts. T H E   R U L E S F O N T S Rules 1 are shape rules, Rules 2 are shape rules with a thin underline, Rules 3 are looped rules and Rules 4 are thick and thin variation rules. Rules 1 through 3 are full border fonts, with matching corner and side character designs. The character designs in Altemus Corners will work with many of the characters in Rules 4 to make that font useful for borders as well. C R E A T I N G C H E C K   R U L E S Another style of rules can be created using either of the Altemus Checks fonts. To make a triple check rule, alternate any two companion characters, such as “OG” and “OSG” (above right). Checkered rules are easily created by repeating one, or alternating two companion characters. Each single design in the Checks fonts has a companion; double, triple, quad and repeat pattern variations based on the single design. Just one of these Checks design series, the concave square, is shown here (right). A variety of checkered patterns can easily be constructed with these fonts.
