When I or our team creates a magazine... We have standard sizes, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and full page. That's it.
Our pricing is NOT based on a per column inch rate like a newspaper because a 1/16 page ad usually takes about the same amount of time that a half page ad does, so, our prices are on a sliding scale where a 1/16th page cost is the most expensive. That way if the reps sell a TON of 1/16 (or the MOST common, a 1/4 page ad) we make nothing but gravy on the page.

So you want a specific look on your website or Print media? Which font/typeface should you use? How will it appear to the end user? I try to answer some of those questions here.
The definition of a typeface: The style or design of a font such as Helvetica. For example, the type family Helvetica contains the typefaces Helvetica, Helvetica Bold, Helvetica Italic and Helvetica Bold Italic. Whereas 10pt Helvetica Bold refers to a font.
