High quality typography gets your message across better
The fonts and typography used in your digital signage display will be critical for determining how visible it is across a room. SignSwift includes best-of-breed rendering technology based on Version 4 of Microsoft’s Windows Presentation Format (WPF) technology. Compare our output against that of any other digital signage solution – we don’t think you’ll find anything better.
According to Microsoft “The WPF text rendering stack … brings improvements to text rendering configurability, clarity, and support for international languages. The new text stack now supports explicitly selecting aliased, grayscale, or ClearType rendering modes. The text stack now supports display-optimized character layout … optimized text hinting and snapping for either animated or static text.”
Because SignSwift renders each image at exactly the right resolution for your display it is able to render great looking text for any display size. The addition of contrasting drop shadows and complementary color selection further enhances the way our text looks.
When it’s your brand-image on the line, we think you’ll agree with us that having crisp, brilliant typography is critical and you shouldn’t accept anything less than the best.
