Objected-oriented (mode): This is the "draw graphics mode". A set of algorithms describe graphic form in abstract geometrical terms as object primitives. The most fundamental shapes from which all other shapes are made ie. lines, curves and solid or patterned areas.
Oblique type: Right slanted characters. Sans-serif typefaces often have oblique rather than true italics which are a separate font.
Offset printing: This is for high-volume reproduction. It utilizes three rotating drums a plate cylinder a blanket cylinder and an impression cylinder. The printing plate is wrapped around the plate cylinder then inked and dampened. The plate image is transferred or offset onto the blanket cylinder. Paper passes in between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder and the image is transferred onto the paper.
Orphan: In a page layout it is the first line of a paragraph separated from the rest of the paragraph by a column or page break. Headings without enough type under them may be regarded as orphans. There should be as much type below the heading as the height of the heading itself which includes any white space.
