The following is a compendium of the rules established in this book


paragraph ­ Never use the spacebar to align text, always set — tabs and use the tab key. — Avoid ending lines with the words: the, of, at, a, by.. — Keep the word spacing consistent. — Avoid ending consecutive lines with the same word. — Adjust the spacing between paragraphs. — Either indent the first line of paragraphs or add extra space between them – not both. — Never have one line in a paragraph in the colomn or following. — Avoid beginning consecutive lines with the same word. — Use a one-em first-line indent on all indented paragraphs. — Kern all headlines where necessary.

5


sentence — — — — —

Use only one space between sentences. Leave no widows or orphans. Leave a least 2 characters on the line and 3 following. Never justify the text on a short line. Tighten up the leading in lines with all caps or with few ascenders and descenders.

dash and hyphens — — — — —

6 rules

Use en or em dashes, use consistently. Avoid more than 3 hyphenations in a row. Avoid too many hyphenations in any paragraph. Avoid hyphenating or line brakes of names and proper nouns. Never hyphenate a words in a headline and avoid hyphenation in a callout.


sentence marks — — — — — — — —

Use real quotation marks. Use real apostrophes. Make sure the apostrophes are where they belong. Hang the punctuation off the aligned edge. Use a decimal or right-aligned tab for the numbers in numbered paragraphs. Use the special characters whenever necessary, including super and subscript. Spend the time to create nice fraction or chose a font that has fractions. If a correctly spelled word needs an accent mark, use it.

fonts — — —

Never combine two serif fonts on one page. Rarely combine two sans serif fonts on one page. Rarely combine more than three typefaces on one page.

A typeface’s color is determined by stroke width, x-height, character width and serif styles.

There are several factors that determine whether a text is readable. When deciding what typeface should be used for a job, consideration should be given to the typeface and its x-height. It is important to understand how a block of text can express a message through its texture/color, therefore suiting a particular design solution. Fonts set in the same size, same leading and column width will produce varying degrees of “color”. In typography, color can also describe the balance between black and white on the page of text.

9


readability/legibility ...Readability and legibility are two key elements of printed text that typographer strive to maximize. Readability extended amount of text – such as an article, book, or annual report – is easy to read. Legibility refers to whether an refers to whether a short burst of text – such as a headline catalog listing, or stop sign – is instantly recognize. As a designer, if you are only asked to make the text readable on the page the following questions should be asked... who is to read it? Someone that wants to read it? Someone that has to read it? how will it be read? Quickly. In passing. Focused. Near. Far.

Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society. Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The works were characterized by the depiction of several successive actions of a subject at the same time.

hyphenationrules


In unjustified text, the text block is set with normal letter and word spacing. Because of the even word spacing the text will have an even texture – no large spaces between words. The lines will naturally vary in length. RAGGED text block can integrate with the layout and add visual interest to the page. The difficulty is making the ragged edge have a pleasing silhouette. The ragged edge needs to have a life, BUT a narrow column can be less active. Another advantage to ragged text is LESS hyphenation is needed. Therefore, names, dates or words which are normally read together can stay together. When the first line in the text is longer than the second, it becomes separate from the layout and creates a box-like shape. This destroys one of the advantages of unjustified text.

I had to go up a few lines, bump “off ” down, which bumped the other line endings down. {6} Fix widows. {7} Thereis plenty of room to squeeze “bought” on this line, perhaps by kerning the lin ea tiny bit. {8} “Horsebarn” is a good long word that could be hyphenated; type a dischy. Better yet, when “bought” moved up, it gave enough room to move horsebarn” up. If not, try opening the text box a wee bit. {9} Edit: to get rid of that terrible widow, exchange a short word for a long word.

widow

orphan

When a paragraph ends and leaves fewer than seven characters (not words, characters) on the last line, that line is called a widow. Worse than leaving one word at the end of a line is leaving part of a word, the other part being paraphrased on the line above.

When the last line of a paragraph, be it ever so long, won’t fit at the bottom of a column and must end itself at the top of the next column, that is an orphan.

Always correct this.

rivers In typography, rivers, or rivers of white, are visually unattractive gaps appearing to run down a paragraph of text.They can occur with any spacing, though they are most noticeable with wide word spaces caused by either full text justification or monospaced fonts.

widows and orphans Never leave widows and orphans bereft on the page. Avoid both of these situations. if you have editing privileges, rewrite the copy, or at least add or delete a word or two. Sometimes remove spacing from the letters, words, or lines, depending on which program you’re working in. Or widening a margin just a hair will do it. But it must be done. Widows and orphans on a page are wrong. 31


alignments if someone insists that fully justified text is better than left-aligned text, tell them they are wrong. if someone else tells you that left-aligned text is better than justified text, tell them they are wrong. If they are both wrong, then what’s right?


Alignment is only a small piece of the puzzle. What works for one design might be totally inappropriate for another layout. As with all layouts, it depends on the purpose of the piece, the audience and its expectations, the fonts, the margins and white space, and other elements on the page.The most appropriate choice is the alignment that works for that particular design.

33


“ Right and wrong do not exist in graphic design. There is only effective and non-effective communication.” — Peter Bilak, Illegibility


justified text Traditionally many books, newsletters, and newspapers use fulljustification as a means of packing as much information onto the page as possible to cut down on the number of pages needed. While the alignment was chosen out of necessity, it has become so familiar to us that those same types of publications set in left-aligned text would look odd, even unpleasant.

fully justified text You may find that fully-justified text is a necessity either due to space constraints or expectations of the audience. If possible though, try to break up dense blocks of texts with ample subheadings, margins, or graphics. — Often considered more formal, less friendly than left-aligned text. — Usually allows for more characters per line, packing more into the same amount of space (than the same text set left-aligned). — May be more familiar to readers in some types of publications, such as books and newspapers. — May require extra attention to word and character spacing and hyphenation to avoid unsightly rivers of white space running through the text. — Some people are naturally drawn to the “neatness” of text that lines up perfectly on the left and right. 35


centered There is nothing inherently wrong with centered text. As with ragged right or fully-justified text alignment, what works for one design might be totally inappropriate for another layout. There are simply fewer situations where centered text is appropriate. When in doubt, don’t center it.

left-aligned, ragged right — — — —

36 alignments

Often considered more informal, friendlier than justified text. The ragged right edge adds an element of white space. May require extra attention to hyphenation to keep right margin from being too ragged. Generally type set left-aligned is easier to work with (i.e. requires less time, attention, and tweaking from the designer to make it look good).


As with all layouts, alignment depends on the purpose of the piece,the audience, expectations, the fonts, the margins white space, other elements on the page.The most appropriate choice is the alignment that works for that particular design. No matter what alignment you use, remember to pay close attention to hyphenation and word/character spacing as well to insure that your text is as readable as possible. There will undoubtedly be well-meaning friends, business associates, clients, and others who will question your choices. Be prepared to explain why you chose the alignment you did and be prepared to change it (and make necessary adjustments to keep it looking good) if the person with final approval still insists on something different.

37


Justified text Justified text was the style for many years-we grew up on it. But there has been a great deal of research done on readability (how easy something is to read) and it shoes that those disruptive, inconsistent gaps between the words inhibit the flow of reading. Besides, they look dumb. Keep your eyes open as you look at professionally printed work (magazines, newsletters, annual reports, journals) and you’ll find there’s a very strong trend to align type on the left and leave the right ragged.


Justify text only if the line is long enough to prevent awkward and inconsistent word spacing.The only time you can safely get away with justifying text is if your type is small enough and your line is long enough, as in books where the text goes all the way across the page. If your line is shorter, as in newsletter, or if you don’t have many words on the line, than as the type aligns to the margins the words space themselves to accommodate it. It usually looks awkward. You’ve seen newspaper columns where all text is justified, often with a word stretching all the way across the column, or a little word on either side of the column with a big gap in the middle.

Gross.

But that’s what can

happen with justified type. When you do it, the effect might not be as radical as the newspaper column, but if your lines are relatively short, you will inevitably end up with uncomfortable gaps in some lines, while other lines will be all squished together.

39


Here is a general guidelines for determining if your line length is long enough to satisfactorily justify the text: — —

­—

the line length in picas should be about twice the point size of the type; that is, if the type you are using is 12 point, the line length should be at least 24 picas (24 picas is 4 inches-simply divide the number of picas by 6, as there are 6 picas per inch)

9-point type should be on an 18-pica line (3 inches) before you try to justify it,

18-point type should be on a 36-pica line (6 inches). The rulers in most programs can be changed to picas, if you like.

When your work comes out of the printer, turn it upside down and squint at it. The rivers will be very easy to spot. Get rid of them. Try squinting at the example on the bottom of the previous page.

The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society. Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The works were characterized by the depiction of several successive actions of a subject at the same time. Marinetti’s manifesto glorified the new technology of the automobile and the beauty of its speed, power, and movement. He exalted violence and conflict and called for the sweeping repudiation of traditional cultural, social, and political values and the destruction of such cultural institutions as museums and libraries.

when combining serif and sans serif text fonts, one should try and match the characteristics of form and type color: proportion, x-heights. Although there is not recipe there is a place to start: keep an eye on the characteristic shapes of the letterform. A well designed page contains no more than two different typefaces or four different type variations such as type size and bold or italic style. reason for not combining two san serif fonts — not enough difference between the two make it look like you made a mistake reason for usually not combining two serif fonts ­â€” use different class fonts not same genere

{Using 2 different serif fonts or 2 different sans serifs fonts

in the same composition is never a good idea


“There is not binding recipe for type combinations. It is a matter of typographic sensitivity and experience. Expert typographers, as well as careless amateurs permit themselves combinations that would horrify colleagues with more traditional sympathies.�

Stay under control when picking a font from thefont menu. Keep the style consistant. NEVER combine two serif fonts on the same page, combine two sans serif fonts on the same page.

every time you turn on a computer and create something for print you are making a design so make it look good.



Quotation Marks – never those grotesque generic marks that actually symbolize ditto/inch or foot marks: use “and” –not “and.” Most software applications will convert the typewriter quotes to the real quotes for you automatically as you type. Check the preferences for your application—you’ll find a check box to tell your application to automatically set something like “typographer’s quotes,” “smart quotes,” or “curly quotes.” Then as you type using the standard ditto key (“), the software will set the correct quotation marks for you. But it is necessary to know how to set them yourself because sometimes the software doesn’t do it or does it wrong. Use real quotation marks

Opening double quote: “ Type: Option [ Closing double quote: ” Type: Option Shift [ Opening single quote: ‘ Type: Option ] Closing single quote: ’ Type: Option Shift ] (please include these and show them correctly) Bridge Clearance: 16’ 7’’ The young man stood 6’ 2’’ The length of the wall is 153’ 9’’

57


apostrophes Apostrophe: ’ option shift ] As as aside, people often are confused about where the apostrophe belongs. There are a couple of rules that work very well. For example, in the phrase the boys’ camp, to know where to place the apostrophe say to yourself, “The camp belongs to the boys.” The phrase the boy’s camp says “The camp belongs to the boy. In a phrase such as House o’ Fashion, the apostrophe takes the place of the f. There is not earthly reason for an apostrophe to be set before the o. In a phrase such as Gone Fishin’ the same pattern is followed—­­­the g is missing. For possessives: Turn the phrase around. The apostrophe will be placed after whatever word you end up with. “The big exception to this is “its.” “Its” used as a possessive never has an apostrophe! The word it only has an apostrophe as a contraction—“it’s” always means “it is” or “it has.” Always. It may be easier to remember if you recall that yours, hers, and his don’t use apostrophes—and neither should its. In a date when part of the year is left out, an apostrophe needs to indicate the missing year. In the 80s would mean the temperature; In the ’80s would mean the decade. (Notice there is no apostrophe before the s! Why would there be? It is not possessive, nor is it a contraction—it is simply plural.)

58


contractions: For contractions: The apostrophe replaces the missing letter. For example: your’re always means you are; the apostrophe is replacing the a from are. That’s an easy way to distinguish it from your as in your house and to make sure you dont’t say:Your going to the store. As previously noted, it’s means “it is”; the apostrophe is indicating where the i is left out. Don’t means “do not”; the apostrophe is indicating where the o is left out.

omissions: For omission of letters: In a phrase such as Rock ’n’ Roll, there should be an apostrophe before and after the n, because the a and the d are both left out. And don’t turn the first apostrophe around—just because it appears in front of the letter does not mean you need to use the opposite single quote. An apostrophe is still the appropriate mark (not ‘n’).

59


dashes Never use two hyphens instead of a dash. Use hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes appropriately. Everyone knows what a hyphens is—that tiny little dash that belongs in some words, like mother-in-law, or phone numbers. It’s also used to break a word at the end of a line, of course. You might have been taught to use a double hyphen to indicate a dash, like so : -- . This is a typewriter convention because typewriters didn’t have the real dash used in professional typesetting. On a Mac, no one needs to use the double hyphen—we have a professional em dash, the long one, such as you see in this sentence. We also have an en dash, which is a little shorter than the em dash.

60 quotes apostrophes dashes


hyphen A hyphen is strictly for hyphenating words or line breaks.Your punctuation style manual, such as The Chicago Manual of Style, goes into great detail about the proper use of hyphens. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of confusion about when to use a hyphen, especially since your computer automatically inserts them at the ends of lines when necessary. But see Chapter 12 for some guidelines on how to make sure excessive or wrong hyphenations don’t make your work look amateurish.

61


En dash – en dash – Option Hyphen hold the Option key down, then tap the hyphen key An en dash is called an en dash because it’s approximately the width of a capital letter N in that particular font and size. It is used between words that indicate a duration, such as time or months or years. Use it where you might otherwise use the word “to.” In a page layout application, the en dash can be used with a thin space on either side of it if you want a little room, but don’t use a full space. (Check your manual for how to set a thin sapce.)

Here are a few examples of places to use the en dash. October – December 6:30 – 8:45 A.M. 4 – 6 years of age Notice that these are really not hyphenated words, and a plain hyphen is not the logically correct character to use. Notice that you automatically read the en dash as the word “to.” 62 quotes apostrophes dashes


Em dash — em dash — Shift Option Hyphen hold the Shift and Option keys down, then tap the hyphen key. The em dash is twice as long as the en dash—it’s about the size of a capital letter M in whatever size and typeface you’re using at the moment. This dash is often used in place of a colon or parenthese, or it might indicate an abrupt change in thought, or it’s used in a spot where a period is too strong and a comma is too weak (check our punctuation style manual for the exact use of the dash). Our equivalent on the typewriter was the double hyphen, but now we have a real em dash. Using two hyphens (or worse, one) where there should be an em dash makes your look very unprofessional. Since you were properly taught, of course, you know that the double hyphen is not supposed to have a space on either side of it—neither is the em dash, as you can see right here in this sentence. There are six other examples of the em dash in this chapter.

bullet, of course! This very useful typographic element can add emphasis, clarity and visual interest to all kinds of copy. Simply put, a bullet is a large dot used to draw attention to each item in a list or series. The items can be single words, phrases, sentences or paragraphs. Even if you use the bullet that is part of your font, don’t automatically assume it’s the right size: it might need to be altered in scale or position to make it look balanced next to the text. Bullets should be centered on either the cap height or x-height, depending on the nature of your copy. If all of your items begin with a cap, center the bullet on the cap, or a bit lower so it balances with the negative spaces created by the lowercase. If your items all begin with lowercase characters, center the bullets on the x-height. Insert some space after the bullet to avoid crowding.

67


bullet alignment The preferred way to align bullets is with the left margin. You can also have the bullets overhang the margin, and keep all your text aligned with the left margin. Whichever style you choose, your listing will look best if items that run more than one line are indented so that the copy aligns with itself, and not with the bullet on the first line. To be more creative, substitute symbols or dingbats for the actual bullets. Try squares, triangles or check marks (just not all at once, as shown in the illustration!). Keep these simple and in proportion with the rest of your text.

68 bullets


dingbats or ornaments Another occasion to take advantage of the baseline shift feature is when using dingbats or ornaments. Suppose you have a list of items and you really want to use a fancy dingbat from the Sapf Dingbats font, instead of using the boring ol’round bullet (or—heaven forbid—a hyphen). But the Zapf Dingbat character is too big. If you reduce its size, the dingbat is too low because the character is till sitting on the baseline. So select the character and shift if up above the baseline. Choose a dingbat instead of the dunb ol’bullet (the bullet is option 8) • lovely • surly • ghastly • womanly • saintly • ungodly • stately • sprightly

You have lots of dingbats to choosefrom, but they are usually too big. lovely surly ghastly womanly saintly ungodly stately

Raise the dingbat higher off the baseline. lovely surly ghastly womanly saintly ungodly stately sprightly

You have lots of dingbats to chose from, but they are usually too big lovely surly ghastly womanly saintly ungodly stately sprightly

oldstyle figures Oldstyle figures are a style of numeral which approximate lowercase letterforms by having an x-height and varying ascenders and descenders. They are considerably different from the more common “lining” (or “aligning”) figures which are all-cap height and typically monospaced in text faces so that they line up vertically on charts. Oldstyle figures have more of a traditional, classic look. They are only available for certain typefaces, sometimes as the regular numerals in a font, but more often within a supplementary or expert font. The figures are proportionately spaced, eliminating the white spaces that result from monospaced lining figures, especially around the numeral one. Oldstyle figures are very useful and quite beautiful when set within text. Unlike lining figures, they blend in without disturbing the color of the body copy. They also work well in headlines since they’re not as intrusive as lining figures. In fact, many people prefer them overall for most uses except charts and tables. It’s well worth the extra effort to track down and obtain typefaces with oldstyle numerals; the fonts that contain them might well become some of your favorites. Notice how large and clunky these numbers appear: Dear John, please call me at 438-9762 at 3:00 to discuss marriage. Or write to me at Route 916, zip code 87505.

Notice how beautifully these numbers blend into the text:

Dear John, please call me at 438-9762 at 3:00 to discuss marriage. Or write to me at Route 916, zip code 87505.



small caps Small caps are uppercase (capital) letters that are about the size of normal lowercase letters in any given typeface. Small caps are less intrusive when all uppercase appears within normal text or can be used for special emphasis. Computer programs can generate small caps for a any typeface, but those are not the same as true small caps.True small caps have line weights that are proportionally correct for the typeface, which me and that they can be used within a body of copy without looking noticeably wrong.

Use small caps for acronyms. Set acronyms such as NASA or NASDAQ in small caps when they appear in body text or headlines. Use small caps for common abbreviations. Set common abbreviations such as AM or PM in small caps so they don’t overpower the accompanying text. Use small caps for A.M. and P.M.; space once after the number, and use periods. (if the font does not have small caps reduce the font size Use true small caps fonts. Avoid simply resizing capital letters or using the small caps feature in some programs. Instead use typefaces that have been specifically created as small caps.

73


acronyms If you set acronyms in regular all caps, their visual presence is unnecessarily overwhelming. One standard and practical place to use small caps is in acronyms such as FBI, NRC, CBS, or SIMM. Traditionally, “A.M.” and “P.M.” are set with small caps. If you were taught to type on a typewriter (or if you were taught on a keyboard by someone who was taight on a tpewriter), you probably learned to set these abbrviations in all caps because here were no small caps on typewritters. But now that you have the capablitlity, you can and should set them properly. Harriet, and FBI agent, turn on CNN to get the dirt on the CIA before going to bed at 9:30 P.M.

Harriet, and fbi agent, turn on cnn to get the dirt on the cia before going to bed at 9:30 p.m. The capital letters in the middle of the sentence call too much attention to themselves. Notice how the small caps blend in with the text. The capital letters for P.M. are much too large – the abbreviation is not that important in the sentence. 74


THE WICKED ARE VERY WEARY The weight of the cmputer - drawn small caps is thinner than the weight of the reglar initial (fist letter) caps. Typeface is Eurostile Condensed

True-drawn small caps There are quite a few font families that include “truedrawn” small caps – letterforms that have been redeigned to match the proportions and thickness of the uppercase. These famiies are often called “expert” sets or perhaps “small caps” sets (see chapter 8). The result is a smooth, uniform, undisturbing tone throughout the text.

There Is No Rest For The Wicked The Wicked Are Very Weary true–drawn small caps are specially drawn to match the weight of the capitial letters in the same face. typefaces are caslon semibold, caslon expert semibold, calson regular, calson expert regular

75



paragraph breaks Paragraph breaks set a rhythm for the reader. The breaks have a relationship with the column of text as well as the page margins. A break may be introduced as an indentation, as a space or both. The over all page feel will be influenced by your choice.

definitions: In typography there are 4 rules regarding paragraph breaks: 1. first line at the beginning of an article should be flush left (do not indent first paragraph) 2. block paragraphs are flush left and are separated by extra leading not a full return 3. the amount indent is = to the leading (sometimes needs a bit more) 4. never hit two returns between paragraphs

Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society.1 Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The manifesto’s rhetoric was passionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread attention. But is is the movements which survive, oddly, here where we live and work as poets and artists: or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as an life itself. All of which, as futurism, had come sharply into focus by the start of the world war: a first radical mix of art and life, the epitome in the poplar mind of an avant-garde. It was, on both its Russian & Italian sides, the first great “art” movement led by poets; and if its means now sometimes seem exaggerated or unripe in retrospect, they carry within them the seed of all that we were later to become. While Marinetti’s opening manifesto for Italian Futurism bristled with a polemical stance in favor of the transformed present (1909), the later manifestos of Futurist poets and artists offered formal, “technical” approaches to the works then getting under way. The key term—still resonant today—was parole in libertà2, by which poetry was to become “an uninterrupted sequence of new images… (a) strict bet of images or analogies, to be cast into the mysterious sea of phenomena.”This freedom-of-theworld, while it resembled other forms of collage and of image juxtaposition, more fully explored the use of innovative and expressive typography in the visual presentation of language, as set in motion by forerunners like Mallarmé. Outrageous and aggressive, the Futurists’ performances mixed declamation and gesture, events and surroundings, indifference and engagement, to break the barriers between themselves and those who came to jeer or cheer them. Wrote Marinetti selbst3 (circa 1915), “Everything of any value is theatrical.”

Footnotes and endnotes Footnotes and endnotes are necessary components of scholarly and technical writing.They’re also frequently used by writers of fiction, from Herman Melville (Moby-Dick) to contemporary novelists. Whether their intent is academic or artistic, footnotes present special typographic challenges. Specifically, a footnote is a text element at the bottom of a page of a book or manuscript that provides additional information about a point made in the main text.The footnote might provide deeper background, offer an alternateinterpretation or provide a citation for the source of a quote, idea or statistic. Endnotes serve the same purpose but are grouped together at the end of a chapter, article or book, rather than at the bottom of each page.

97


These general guidelines will help you design footnotes and endnotes that are readable, legible and economical in space. (Note that academic presses and journals can be sticklers for format: before proceeding, check with your client or publisher to see if they have a specific stylesheet that must be followed.)

98 captions notes


Numbers or Symbols: Footnotes are most often indicated by placing a superscript numeral immediately after the text to be referenced. The same superscript numeral then precedes the footnoted text at the bottom of the page. Numbering footnotes is essential when there are many of them, but if footnotes are few they can be marked with a dagger, asterisk, or other symbol instead. Endnotes should always use numerals to facilitate easy referencing.

Size: Footnotes and endnotes are set smaller than body text. The difference in size is usually about two points, but this can vary depending on the size, style and legibility of the main text. Even though they’re smaller, footnotes and endnotes should still remain at a readable size.

Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a 1. Phillip manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.The name Futurism, Meggs, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the History of Graphic static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in Van Design, culture and society.1 Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly Nostrand Reinhold, by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion.The manifesto’s rhetoric 1988 was passionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract wide spread attention. But is is the movements which survive, oddly, here where we live and work as poets and artists: or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as an life itself.

A basic system for classifying typefaces was devised in the nineteenth century, when printers sought to identify a heritage for their own craft analogous to that of art history. Humanist letterforms are closely connected to calligraphy and the movement of the hand. Transitional and modern typefaces are more abstract and less organic. These three main groups correspond roughly to the Renaissance, Baroque, and Enlightenment periods in art and literature. Designers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have continued to create new typefaces based on historic characteristics.
