 The term realist is unrelated to the artistic movement realism, and derives from the Spanish for "royal", because of a typeface cast by Christophe Plantin for King Philip II of Spain.Examples of realist typefaces include Baskerville, Times Roman, and other contemporary redesigns of traditional faces.The moderns can be broken down into Didone, Mechanistic, and Lineal categories, and are characterized by a simple, functional feel that gained momentum during the industrial period of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
