General: General
features were given large black font with a small white halo to increase
legibility and visual contrast. The font size is the largest of any font on the
relevant feature. The text was placed in a central location without overlapping
other labeled features or important data.
Water Features:
Water features were given dark blue italic serif font. The color chosen was
dark enough to allow legibility and contrast with the light blue water background.
For the Golden Gate and San Francisco
Bay labels they are placed in a central location within the water feature at a
level angle with the page. The Lake Merced label was angled to line up and be
contained within the lake.
Park Names:
Park labels were given a dark green color with a thin white halo to allow visibility
and contrast while still keeping the labels intuitive. Font size was chosen to
keep the labels within the boundaries of the park. However, due to the shape of
Lincoln Park the label overhangs however it’s positioned in a manner that
removes ambiguity.
Landmark:
The Golden Gate Bridge label was colored in dark gray to differentiate it from
the general labels. It was sized to fit the length of the bridge and angled to
run parallel.
Topographic Features:
Topographic features were given smaller medium gray labels with no outline.
They are legible and available should a viewer search for that information but
not so large to take away from the larger more significant map features.
