These tips are written with legal writing in mind (and desirably so; as a cohabitant of a recent legal graduate I can report that the legal world has some awfully retrograde typographical principles), but I would not hesitate to recommend all of them to anybody writing block text.
And I must say, an example like the paragraph from Oscar Wilde is as beautifully composed a work of human art as I am likely to see on a daily basis. Surely worth emulating in any field.
- aerique 17y agoI thought that Oscar Wilde example was beautiful as well. Does anyone know what font it uses?
- zokier 17y agoYes, it is beautiful indeed. Does anyone have a guide for laymen like me for selecting fonts for text. The Article mentions a huge list of fonts (New Baskerville, Book Antiqua, Calisto, Century, Century Schoolbook, Bookman Old Style, Baskerville, Bembo, Caslon, Deepdene, Galliard, Jenson, Minion, Palatino, Pontifex, Stone Serif, Trump Mediäval, and Utopia), but doesn't explain the difference in them, or when to use which.
