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

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. a 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. 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. 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.
HYPHENATION RULES PAY ATTENTION TO: —HOW THE TEXT IS READ AVOID WIDOWS (ONE WORD ON THE LAST LINE OF A PARAGRAPH)—AVOID HYPHENATING OR LINE BRAKES OF NAMES AND PROPER NOUNS— LEAVE A LEAST 2 CHARACTERS ON THE LINE AND 3 FOLLOWING—AVOID BEGINNING CONSECUTIVE LINES WITH THE SAME WORD— AVOID ENDING CONSECUTIVE LINES WITH THE SAME WORD—AVOID ENDING LINES WITH THE WORDS: THE, OF, AT, A, BY..—NEVER HYPHENATE A WORDS IN A HEADLINE AND AVOID HYPHENATION IN A CALLOUT

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 you can remove spacing from the letters, words, or lines, depending on which program you’re working in. Sometimes widening a margin just a hair will do it. But it must be done. Widows and orphans on a page are wrong.
WIDOWS 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.
ORPHANS 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.

HEADLINES Do not hyphenate headlines. That’s a law.
Don Quixote de la Man- Cha
Watch where the first line of a two-line headline ends. Does it create a silly or misleading phrase? Fix it.
Don’t Lose Your Self Respect
Do not leave widows (very short last lines) in headlines.
WRONG: Man Walks Barefoot Across Bay Bridge RIGHT: Man walks barefoot across Bay Bridge LINE BREAKS: Look for bad line breaks throughout every line of body copy. Do this only on a final copy after all editing has been done.
MAKE SURE HEADLINE TEXT IS JUSTIFIED APPROPRIATELY. USE LINE BREAKS (SHIFT RETURN) TO BUMP TEXT TO NEXT LINE WHEN NEEDED. USE KERNING TO BRING A HYPHENATED WORD TOGETHER IF NECESSARY. NEVER HYPHENATE PEOPLE’S NAME.TRY SUBSTITUTING A SHORT OR LONG WORD TO MAKE TEXT FIT.

ALIGNMENTS
26
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 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 align- ment that works for that particular design. As with all layouts, alignment 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.
THERE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE WELLMEANING 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 DIFFERENT. No matter what alignment you use, remember to pay close attention to hyphenation and word/character spacing to ensure that your text is as readable as possible.

A L I G N M E N T S
JUSTIFIED TEXT Traditionally books, newsletters, and newspapers use full- justification 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. 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 sub- headings, margins, or graphics. CHARACTERISTICS—OFTEN CONSIDERED MORE FORMAL AND LESS FRIENDLY THAN LEFTALIGNED TEXT. USUALLY ALLOWS FOR MORE CHARACTERS PER LINE, PACKING MORE INTO THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE (THAN THE SAME TEXT SET LEFT-ALIGNED).—MAY REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION TO WORD AND CHARACTER SPACING AND HYPHENATION TO AVOID UNSIGHTLY RIVERS OF WHITE SPACE RUNNING THROUGH THE TEXT.— MAY BE MORE FAMILIAR TO READERS IN SOME TYPES OF PUBLICATIONS, SUCH AS BOOKS AND NEWSPAPERS. SOME PEOPLE ARE NATURALLY DRAWN TO THE “NEATNESS” OF TEXT THAT LINES UP PERFECTLY ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT.
30
A L I G N M E N T S
RAGGED RIGHT In English and most European languages where words are read left-toright, text is often aligned flush left, meaning that the text of a paragraph is aligned on the left-hand side with the right- hand side ragged. Ragged right text is considered more informal than fully justified text. Although flush left alignment is less likely to have typographic rivers or problems common to fully justified text, care must be taken to prevent drastic changes in the length of the line. Abrupt changes from line to line makes the text difficult to read. CHARACTERISTICS—A WORD ON CENTERED TEXT 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). 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. 31
J U S T I F I C AT I O N Justify text only if the line is long enough to prevent awkward and inconsistent word spacing.
32
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, then the words liberally space themselves as the type aligns to the margins. 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 mid- dle. 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. 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 disrup- tive, 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, an- nual reports, journals) and you’ll find there’s a very strong trend to align type on the left and leave the right ragged.

QUICK TIPS Here is a general guideline 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.
FORMULA:
(point size x 2) / 6
EXAMPLES:
9 point type = 18 picas long = 3 inches 12 point type = 24
picas long = 4 inches 16 point type = 36 picas long = 6 inches
There are 6 picas per inch. To determine how long a line is in inches, simply divide the number of picas by 6.
IDENTIFYING JUSTIFICATION PROBLEMS AND CHANGING SETTINGS. 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. JUSTIFICATION SETTINGS CAN BE CHANGED UNDER THE THE PARAGRAPH DROP DORWN MENU. YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORD SPACING AND LETTER SPACING IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE APPEARANCE OF RIVERS AND MAKE TEXT MORE READABLE. SEE THE NEXT FIVE PAGES FOR EXAMPLES.

Restrict yourself to two typefaces within a document. The inclusion of multiple serif or sans serif typefaces will cause unwanted tension.
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 dif- ferent type variations such as type size and bold or italic style. A particularly good combination is a sans serif typeface for the heading and a serif typefaces for the body copy. When combin- ing serif and sans serif text fonts, one should try and match the characteristics of form and type color: proportion, x-heights.
QUICK TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE TYPE COMBINATIONS— DON’T BE A WIMP. THE KEY IS CONTRAST: SIZE, STRENGTH, TYPOGRAPHIC COLOR. A SANS SERIF TYPEFACE IS EASIER TO READ AT A GLANCE, AND, THUS, MORE EFFECTIVE FOR HEADLINES.SERIFS IN A TYPEFACE FACILITATE THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF READING, MAKING SERIF TYPEFACES AN IDEAL CHOICE FOR BODY COPY.

WO R D S I N LI B E RTY A Pr ol ogue to Futuri sm:
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. 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.

Although there is a clear difference between the heading and the body copy, the stroke of Futura seems a bit heavy, which creates a similar typographic color as the bold, enlarged title and creates tension.
Both of these typefaces – while distinct – maintain organic attributes that compliment each other well. The humanist sans serif functions well as the body copy, and both typefaces exude an approachable style.

These 2 fonts work together based on the stroke weight and character width. Because Helvetica has such a large x-height, Mrs. Eaves had to be used at a much larger size to make the 2 fonts more opically similar. To increase hierarchy and to have a quick read I used Helvetica 75 (bold) for the header and subhead.

USE REAL 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.

APOSTROPHE 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 POSSESSIVES: TURN THE PHRASE AROUND. The apostrophe will be placed after whatever word you end up with. 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.” “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.
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 don’t say: Your going to the store.
52
Q U O T E S , A P O S T R O P H E S , D A S H E S .
AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED,
it’s means “it is”; the apostro-
phe is indicating where the i is left out. Don’t means “do not”; the apostrophe is indicating where the o is left out.
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’).
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.
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.

Q U O T E S , A P O S T R O P H E S , D A S H E S .
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 in 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.
HYPHEN EN DASH – EM DASH —
54
Q U O T E S , A P O S T R O P H E S , D A S H E S .
HYPHEN A hyphen is one third of the em rule and is used to link words. It serves as a compound modifier where two words become one, such as x-height. A hyphen is also used to break works at syllables in text blocks.
EN DASH To type an en dash en dash – Option Hyphen hold the Option key down, then tap the hyphen key An en dash is half of the em rule (the width of a capital N) and 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 you can kern it so it is not a full space. October – December
EM DASH -
6:30 – 8:45 A.M.
To type an em dash
4 – 6 years of age
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 parentheses, 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. 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 looks unprofessional.
When using an—no space is used on either side.

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.
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.

Learn the difference between oldstyle figures and regular numerals in a given typeface.
OLDSTYLE FIGURES ARE A STYLE OF NUMERAL which approximate low- ercase 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 verti- cally on charts. The figures are proportionately spaced, eliminat- ing 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 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.
OLDSTYLE FIGURES HAVE MORE OF A TRADITIONAL, CLASSIC LOOK. THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN TYPEFACES. SOMETIMES THEY ARE INCLUDED AS REGULAR NUMERALS IN A FONT, BUT MORE OFTEN THEY ARE FOUND WITHIN A SUPPLEMENTARY OR EXPERT FONT.

SMALL CAPS. 66
C A P S
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 means that they can be used within a body of copy without look- ing noticeably wrong.
HOW TO USE SMALL CAPS 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. SETABBREVIATIONS SUCH AS AM OR PM IN SMALL CAPS SO THEY DON’T OVERPOWER THE ACCOMPANYING TEXT. SPACE ONCE AFTER THE NUMBER, AND USE PERIODS. FOR COMMON ABBREVIATIONS, IF THE FONT DOES NOT HAVE SMALL CAPS REDUCE THE FONT SIZE SLIGHTLY. REMEMBER: THIS IS NOT OUR DEFAULT SOLUTION, ONLY IN DESPERATION. 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. TRADITIONALLY ABBREVIATIONS ARE SET WITH SMALL CAPS.
Because typewriters did not have a small caps option, many people incorrectly learned to uppercase abbreviations. 67

REAL VERSUS FAKE
There are quite a few font families that
include "true-drawn" small caps—letterforms that have been redesigned to match the proportions and thicknesses of the uppercase. These families are often called "expert" sets or perhaps "small cap" sets. The result is a smooth, uniform, undisturbing tone throughout the text.

If you space or indent your paragraphs poorly, your work belies you as an amateur. There are a multitude of ways to denote 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 mar- gins. A break may be introduced as an indentation, as a space or both. The over all page feel will be influenced by your choice. PARAGRAPH BREAK RULES—SO WHY SHOULDN’T I INDENT THE FIRST PARAGRAPH? THE PURPOSE OF AN INDENT IS TO WARN THE READER THAT A NEW PARAGRAPH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. SUCH AN INDICATION WOULD BE REDUNDANT ON THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. THE FIRST LINE AT THE BEGINNING OF AN ARTICLE SHOULD BE FLUSH LEFT. (DO NOT INDENT FIRST PARAGRAPH) BLOCK PARAGRAPHS ARE FLUSH LEFT AND ARE SEPARATED BY EXTRA LEADING NOT A FULL RETURN. THE AMOUNT INDENT IS EQUAL TO THE LEADING (SOMETIMES A BIT MORE) NEVER HIT ENTER TWICE BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS TO FORM BREAKS. USE YOUR SOFTWARE TO SET THE INDENT AUTOMATICALLY. EITHER INDENT YOUR PARAGRAPHS OR PUT EXTRA SPACE BETWEEN THEM. DON’T DO BOTH. THE STANDARD TYPOGRAPHIC INDENT IS ONE EM SPACE—A BLANK SPACE AS WIDE AS THE POINT SIZE OF THE TYPE.

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 cul- ture and society. Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life—mainly by em- phasizing two dominant themes: the machine and motion. The manifesto’s rhetoric was pas- sionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread atten- tion. But it is the movements which survive here where we live and work as poets and artists; or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as a life itself. All of which, as with Futurism, had come sharply into focus by the start of the world war: a radical mix of art and life—the epitome in the poplar mind of an avant-garde. It was—on both its Russian and Italian sides—the first great “art” movement led by poets; and if its means 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 pa- role in libertà, 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-the-world, 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, indiffer- ence and engagement, to break the barriers between themselves and those who came to jeer or cheer them. Wrote Marinetti selbst, “Everything of any value is theatrical.”

A header is the main title of a layout and is typically the most visually prominent element of the hierarchy; while a subhead is a subordinate subdivision of the heading. Each character presents a different visual impression on the page.
ONE WAY IN WHICH HEADERS AND SUBHEADS adopt the highest visual hierarchy is through enlarged text. Increasing the size of the text improves its legibility, which making it easier to view at a glance, and delineates a clear distinction from the body copy. Enlarged text, however, requires a sensitive handling to maintain visuallyconsistent letterspacing within the title and subhead through a process called
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX X X XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX X X XXXXXXXXX
kerning. The larger the letters, the more critical it is to adjust their spacing.
KERNING IS THE PROCESS
of removing small units of
space be- tween letters in order to create visually-consistent letterspacing. Awkward letterspacing not only looks naïve and unprofessional, but it can disrupt the communication of the words.
RULES FOR KERNING—KERNING IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON YOUR EYE, NOT ON THE MACHINE. TYPE NEEDS A HUMAN EYE FOR THE FINE TUNING. CIRCLULAR LETTERS APPEARS SMALLER NEXT TO A RECTANGULAR LETTERS. THE KEY TO KERNING IS TO KEEP IT VISUALLY CONSISTENT. THE SPACING BETWEEN LETTERS MAY NOT BE EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT IT WILL APPEAR THAT WAY WITH THE PROPER KERNING. ADJUST THE LETTERS ACCORDING TO YOUR SENSITIVE VISUAL PERCEPTION. YOU CAN USUALLY FOCUS BETTER ON THAT WHITE SPACE IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEXT WITH YOUR EYES SQUINTED.

Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life—mainly by em- phasizing two dominant themes: the machine and motion. The manifesto’s rhetoric was pas- sionately bombastic;
Radical mix of art and life
its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread atten- tion. But it is the movements which survive here where we live and work as poets and artists; or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as a life itself. All of which, as with Futurism, had come sharply into focus by the start of the world war: a radical mix of art and life—the epitome in the poplar mind of an avant-garde. It was—on both its Russian and Italian sides—the first great “art” movement led by poets; and if its means 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 pa- role in libertà, 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-the-world, 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, indiffer- ence and engagement, to break the barriers between themselves and those who came to jeer or cheer them. Wrote Marinetti selbst, “Everything of any value is theatrical.”

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.

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.

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 twentyfirst centuries have continued to create new typefaces based on historic characteristics.
