Abstract

This paper describes a research that aimed to evaluate a support model for the typographic selection process. The preliminary version of the model was constructed based on literature review and consultation with experts and is part of a larger study (MEÜRER, 2017). The part of the research reported herein uses a qualitative approach and was structured in 3 main phases, namely: preparation, application of the model, and results. The model was applied in the development of projects for the Design degree completion, specifically those with focus on editorial design. Over a semester, academics used the model to select the fonts to their projects. The process was monitored by the researcher and evaluated using qualitative techniques. From the results, we discuss contributions and indicate aspects for further refinement.
