The outline font is a typeface that has been designed to be used as an outline or fill-in for other fonts, such as the lettering on signs and posters. The outline font can also be used in logos, packaging, and advertisements. It is often used in combination with another font, such as a serifed font.
An outline font is usually created by first creating a vector image of the desired text using a computer graphics program. This process is called rasterizing. Next, the outlines are drawn around each character in the vector image. A separate file containing the outlines is then generated from this vector image. Finally, the outlines are converted into a bitmap format which can be printed onto paper.
