Insert only a single space after punctuation
INSERT SINGLE SPACE
INDENTS
Inserting two spaces after a period was common when using a typewriter. Monospace typefaces were designed to occupy the same amount of space no matter the width of the character. Therefore, two spaces were needed to identify the end of a sentence and the beginning of another sentence. With the introduction of the Mac and digital type, characters are designed proportionately, which allows for the correct practice of using one space after all punctuation.

Do not put more than one space after puntuation like this. Notice the large gap. Only do this on typewriters. Use only once space after puntucation like this. Notice how the characters are proportionate to the space. How nice.

Do not use spaces in place of an indent
Use proper em/ en dashes, and hyphens
EM & EN DASHES
HYPHENATION
An em is a unit of measure equal to the point size that you are using. An em dash is a type of punctuation used to offset clauses in a sentence or to indicate an abrupt change in thought. An en dash is equal to half the length of an em dash. En dashes are used to denote time duration.
Don’t rely on software to judge placement of hyphens. At the end of lines, leave at least two characters behind and take at least three forward. For example, “elegantly” is acceptable, but “elegant-ly” is not because it takes too little of the word to the next line. Avoid leaving the stub end of a hyphenated word or any word shorter then four letters as the last line of a paragraph. Avoid consecutive hyphenated lines, or breaking proper names and titles. Creating a non-breaking space before and after the name will ensure that the name will not break.
This is an example of an EM DASH—it is much longer than normal hyphenation. This is an example of an EN DASH– it is half the length of the em dash.

LETTER SPACING
KERNING
Letter spacing is the amount of space between characters in a word. Some software programs call letter spacing tracking. Use positive number values (to about 2 or 3) to open up letter spacing to capitalized text and small caps, except when periods are used between characters. Line length is a measure of text on one line. Any measure between 45 and 75 characters is comfortable for single columns. The ideal measure for body text length is 66 characters (counting both letters, punctuation, and spaces.) For multiple columns, the ideal measure is between 40 and 50 characters.
Adjust the space between two particular letters to allow for more consistent negative space. It is the part of a metal type projecting beyond its body or shank.
Adjust the kerning between letters
This is an example of not using letter spacing. Notice how the letters are closer together ESPECIALLY WHEN USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. This is an example of using letter spacing to make the text more legible. CAPITAL LETTERS ESPECIALLY HAVE MORE READABILITY.

Rules Defined
Word spacing should be fairly close
WORD SPACING
JUSTIFICATION
For text meant for extended reading, the amount of space between words in a paragraph should be fairly close–about the width of a lowercase “i.” If the word spacing is too close, it appears as one giant word and legibility is decreased. Keep the spaces between words fairly thin, consistent and even.
Justification can be appropriate in certain places. However, it can create certain problems such as rivers and word spacing—not visually appealing. Adjusting size of margins, decreasing body copy size, turning on auto hyphenatation, and manually hyphenating the text are all examples of possible solutions.
This is an example of bad word spacing. Word spacing that is too close isn’t easy to read.

You can think of lining numbers as upper case numbers and non-lining numbers as lower case numbers.
With options given to you by almost any type family (bold, point size, italics, underline, etc.) you will seldom need to use all caps to draw attention to your text. Not all typefaces are legible when set in all caps; this is especially true for script and decorative typefaces. Short headlines may be the exception to this rule.

ELLIPSIS Use the actual ellipsis character. DO NOT use three periods. You can access the ellipsis key command by typing Option + : (colon). Be sure to allow a small amount of space before and after the ellipsis. However if it is not crowding the text, leave no space at all. This is an example of using three periods instead of the ellipsis tool... This is an example of using an ellipsis…The spacing is smaller between the dots in this case.
Use the correct form of the ellipsis character
Avoid underlined text when possible.
UNDERLINED TEXT
LEADING
This was useful back in the days of the typewriter to draw attention to the text. With digital type and their families, you should not need to use underlined text.
Line spacing (also known as leading) refers to the space between lines of text. It is important for readability and appearance in large bodies of text. Leading is measured from baseline to baseline. As a rule of thumb, allow leading that is 120% of the point size. For sans serif, you may need 130% or more. When setting headlines, solid leading (leading = point size, 12/12) or negative leading (leading =< point size, 12/10) may be appropriate.
Underlining text is unneccessary. Use bold, italics, or font
size to draw attention instead.
Increase line spacing to improve readability
This is an example of poor leading. If you put the lines of text together is difficult to read. The leading is generally larger for best readability. This is font size 8, leading size 11.

BODY TEXT
ALTERING FONTS
Body text is set anywhere from 9-12 points. When you print text, it is usually larger than what it looked like on \PM [KZMMV ;W XZQV\ W]\ aW]Z \M`\ JMNWZM ÅVITQbQVO aW]Z layout. Type studies will help you determine the proper size before you proceed with your layout.
Do not alter the original typeface by stretching or condensing the letters improperly. Certain type families XZW^QLM aW] _Q\P I TW\ WN ÆM`QJQTQ\a [W aW] [PW]TL VW\ need to destroy/alter text. This is an example of condensing a font.
Avoid beginning three consecutive lines with the same word. Since software programs deal with line breaks automatically based upon a number of variables, it is possible to have paragraphs with consecutive lines beginning with the same word. When this happens [QUXTa ILR][\ \PM \M`\ \W I^WQL Å` \PM XZWJTMU This is size 9. This is size 10.

LEGIBILITY
MARGINS & COLUMNS
Sans serif typefaces work well for headlines and to set text that is aligned to vertical/horizontal lines. Certain sans serif typefaces which are not very geometrical work well for body copy (Frutiger, Meta, Scala Sans, etc.)
Line length is a measure of text on a line. Any measure between 45 and 75 characters is comfortable for single column widths. The ideal measure for body text length is 66 characters (counting letters, punctuation, and spaces.) For multiple columns, a measure between 40 and 50 characters is ideal. For single-column pages, 4.25 inches is ideal. For two column width, columns can be as narrow as 2 inches. Turning on the hyphenation feature can improve word spacing.
A serif is a slight projection off a stroke or letter. And example are the feet at the bottom of the letters, resting on the baseline.

Apostrophes POSSESSIVES
CONTRACTIONS
OMISSION
To check a possessive apostrophe, turn the phrase around. The apostrophe will be placed after the 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 boy.”
In 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.
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. Don’t turn \PM ÅZ[\ IXW[\ZWXPM IZW]VL.

em dash —
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 or given text that uses a double hyphen -- to indicate a dash. 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. An em is a unit of measure equal to the point size that you are using. An em dash is a type of punctuation used to offset clauses in a sentence or to indicate an abrupt change in thought. An en dash is equal to half the length of an em dash. En dashes are used to denote duration (time.)

JUSTIFICATION 31
Justification Only justify text if you can prevent rivers or gaps in your text.
Justify text only if the line is long enough to prevent awkward and inconsistent word spacing. The only time you can safely justify 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 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 squashed together.
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; 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. There are 6 picas per inch). 9-point type should be on an 18-pica line (3 inches) before you try to justify it, and 18-point type should be on a 36-pica line (6 inches). The rulers in most programs can be changed to picas. 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.

RIVERS
WIDOWS OR ORPHANS
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 R][\QÅKI\QWV WZ UWVW[XIKML NWV\[
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.
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.

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: machine and motion. The manifestoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhetoric was passionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amaze-
ment, 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;artâ&#x20AC;? 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.

X-Height 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. 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.
WHO IS TO READ IT? Someone that wants to read it? Someone that has to read it?
HOW WILL IT BE BE READ? Quickly. In passing. Focused. Near. Far.

The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he con- ceived 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 succes- sive actions of a subject at the same time. Marinetti’s manifesto glorified the new technology of the auto- mobile and the beauty of its speed, power, and move- ment. 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.

COLUMN WIDTH

Column Width Column width determines the line length
Determining line length is key. 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.
COLUMN TIPS s 3KINNY COLUMNS HAVE SHORT LINE LENGTH AND CAN CREATE WIDOWS ORPHANS
That is, if the type you are using is 12 point, the line length should be at least 24 picas (24 picas is 4 inchessimply divide the number of picas by 6, as there are 6 picas per inch). Thus 9-point type should be on an 18-pica line (3 inches) before you try to justify it, and 18-point type should be on a 36-pica line (6 inches). The rulers in most programs can be changed to picas.

This column width is too small. It makes the line lengths short so it cannot hold very many characters. The text doesn’t flow.
This is a good column width. It allows multiple words per line, creating a flowing text.
KERNING & LEADING

69
KERNING Kerning helps make text balanced and easier to read
Kerning is an adjustment of the space between two letters. The characters of the Latin alphabet emerged over time; they were never designed with mechanical or automated spacing in mind. Thus some letter combinations look awkward without special spacing considerations. Gaps occur, for example, around letters whose forms angle outward or frame an open space (W, Y, V, T). In metal type, a kerned letter extends past the lead slug \PI\ []XXWZ\[ Q\ ITTW_QVO \_W TM\\MZ[ \W Å\ UWZM KTW[MTa together. In digital fonts, the space between letter pairs is controlled by a kerning table created by the type designer,
_PQKP [XMKQÅM[ [XIKM[ JM\_MMV XZWJTMUI\QK TM\\MZ KWUbinations. Working in a page layout program, a designer can choose to use metric kerning or optical kerning as well as adjusting the space between letters manually where desired. A well-designed typeface requires little or no additional kerning.

Kerning//Leading
Leading The amount of vertical space between lines of text
Leading comes from the metal-type era when typesetters inserted thin strips of lead (each one point thick) to increase the spacing between lines, for legibility or stylistic effects. Lines of normal text without leading are said to be set solid, and usually give a dense and dark appearance to the text block. Negative leading refers to less than normal spacing and is used to achieve dramatic visual impact in headlines, advertisements, posters, etc. In the desktop printing age, leading manipulation is achieved through pagemaking software
NORMAL LEADING This is an example of normal leading. This creates good legibility and is a relaible option.
NEGATIVE LEADING This is an example of negative leading. This makes the spacing smaller and harder to read.
EXTREME LEADING This is an example of exreme leading. This could mean the spacing is abnormally large or abnormally small. This is to create visual emphasis, but is not ideal for most body text.

Headers Subheads & Crossheads Headers give a first glimpse into what information is laid out
A header is a line or block of text appearing at the top of each page of a book or document. It is used to inform the reader of the main topic of the body text. A subheader is a heading given to a subsection of a piece of writing. A subheader is used to give more context to the header. This can be shown by use of italics, size, color, etc. Subheaders are generally smaller in size to headers, so as not to distract from the main topic.
A crossheader is a heading set in body text to break it into easily readable sections. Cross heads can be set in a different font, point size, or color to create a more visually interesting break.
PAY ATTENTION TO THESE RULES s 4HE HEADER SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM ON THE PAGE 7ORKING WITH tracking, and kerning is important if your header is larger than the body text. The letter spacing changes as the point size increases. s 4O AVOID AN AWKWARD BREAK BETWEEN THE HEADER SUBHEADER AND BODY TEXT
adjust the leading to create even spacing. s 5SE YOUR SUBHEADERS AS A WAY TO INTRODUCE THE TEXT SO READERS CAN EASILY FIND the information they are seeking.

Footnotes and endnotes are necessary components of scholarly and technical writing. They’re also frequently ][ML Ja _ZQ\MZ[ WN ÅK\QWV NZWU 0MZUIV 5MT^QTTM (Moby-Dick) to contemporary novelists. Whether their intent is academic or artistic, footnotes present special typographic challenges.

NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS
POINT SIZE
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.
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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smaller, footnotes and endnotes should still remain at a readable size. Captions and footnotes can be important to adding facts and additional information about the body text. This information generally isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as important as the main text, but helps provide better understanding. It should be a smaller point size so as not to distract the reader.

SMALL CAPS
118
119
Small Caps Use true small cap fonts
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 they can be used within a body of copy without looking noticeably wrong.
When setting text that contains acronyms, select a typeface with a small caps family. Selecting small caps from the style menu is a poor choice because the computer reduces the size of the type by 80%. This changes the stroke weight and feel of the font. Expert sets in the Adobe Type Library have small caps options. 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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 slightly) 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.
120
Small Caps
Where to Use Small Caps If you set acronymns 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.
121
Traditionally, “A.M.” and “P.M.” are set with small caps. Originally there were no small caps on typewriters, so everyone was taught to capitalize them. Now that you have the capability, you can and should set them properly.
Small Caps Examples TRUE DRAWN SMALL CAPS 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 letter forms. The result is a smooth, uniform, undisturbing tone throughout the text.

GRIDS STRUCTURES 125
Grid Structures Grids are the key to a successful layout
When Designing a layout and working with text and/or images the use of a grid is essential, as it is the basis on _PQKP QVNWZUI\QWV Q[ WZOIVQbML IVL KTIZQÅML MV[]ZQVO legibility. The grid provides a framework were text, image and space can be combined into a cohesive manner. A grid subdivides a page vertically and horizontally into margins, columns, inter-column spaces, lines of type, and spaces between blocks of type and images. These subdivisions form the basis of a modular and systematic approach to the layout, particularly for multipage documents, making the design process quicker, and ensuring visual consistency between related pages. At its most basic, the sizes of a grid’s component parts are determined by ease of reading and handling. From the sizes of type to the overall page or sheet size, decision-making is derived from physiology and the psychology of perception as much as by aesthetics.
Type sizes are generally determined by hierarchy—captions smaller than body text and so on—column widths by optimum word counts of eight to ten words to the line, and overall layout by the need to group related items. This all sounds rather formulaic, and easy. But designers whose grids produce dynamic or very subtle results take these rules as a starting point only, and go WV \W LM^MTWX ÆM`QJTM [\Z]K\]ZM[ QV _PQKP \PMQZ [MV[QJQTQ\a KIV ÆW]ZQ[P /ZQL[ WN\MV VMML \W JM LM[QOVML \W OQ^M UWZM ÆM`QJQTQ\a than the single column of text per page (Jan Tschichold’s grid). This is due to to a change in our reading patterns. Grid structures have to accommodate a greater variety of material such as photographs, illustrations, headings, captions, references, charts; they need to be more complicated than a grid using only text and may utilize more modules. The design of the grid had to be relevant to the purpose.
126
Grid Structures
Baseline Grids Baseline Grids create a common rhythm on a page
127
Modular grids are created by positioning horizontal guidelines in relation to a baseline grid that governs the whole document. Baseline grids serve to anchor all (or nearly all) layout elements to a common rhythm. Create a baseline grid by choosing the typesize and leading of your text, such as 10-pt Scala Pro with 12 pts leading (10/12). Avoid auto leading so that you can work with whole numbers that multiply and divide cleanly. Use this line space increment to set the baseline grid in your document preferences.
Adjust the top or bottom page margin to absorb any space left over by the baseline grid. Determine the number of horizontal page units in relation to the numer WN TQVM[ QV aW]Z JI[MTQVM OZQL +W]V\ PW_ UIVa TQVM[ Ă&#x2026;\ in a full column of text and then choose a number that divides evenly into the line count to create horizontal page divisions. A column with forty-two lines of text divides neatly into seven horizontal modules with six lines each. If your line count is not neatly divisible, adjust the top and/or bottom page margins to absorb the leftover lines.
Golden Section Grids often need to be designed to give more flexibility than the single column of text per page. This is due to a change in our reading patterns. Although we still read consecutively, our attention is drawn to both magazines and coffee table books which are often larger in format and highly illustrated. The grid structures for these formats have to accommodate a greater variety of material such as photographs, illustrations, headings, captions, references, charts; they need to be more complicated than those for a grid using only text and may utilize more modules.
The golden section has been used for centuries. The Greeks used the golden section to establish balance in the design for architecture, for example the Parthenon, and it was re-discovered by artists and architects during the Renaissance period. The golden section is constructed through mathematical calculations : the ration being 1:1:61803. The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical series discovered in the 12th century by Leonardo Fibonacci and is used to establish proportion.

It may be necessary to produce grids with VIZZW_MZ []J KWT]UV[ \W MVIJTM I OZMI\MZ LMOZMM WN Ă&#x2020;M`-
ibility in the design and layout of pages. Text widths can be set to multiples of the narrower columns, allowing the design to accommodate different content. This then allows for a change of style from one page or section to the next, while still keeping a common layout.
EXAMPLE This example shows a grid where the proportions of the text area are established from the shape of the page. The height of the text area is the same as the width of the full page. Note that the text area will always remain the same, regardless of the scale of the page.

Grid Structures
Modular Grids Modular grids are associated with Swiss typography or the ‘International style’ of the 1950’s and 60s. Along with a vertical division of space, modular grids divide space horizontally too. This creates units or cells. The depth of the cell may depend upon the size of the text type and leading being used. Multiples of the line depth (leading size) form a good basis on which to construct the cells.
131
TAKE NOTE Grids are often constructed as simple columns of vertical lines but may be devised as more complex modular systems for greater flexibility.
Symmetry is typically very pleasing to the eye
Symmetrical Grids
Asymmetrical Grids
Symmetrical grids sit centrally on a single page so that the left and right margins are equal. A common example would be how text in a chapter book is laid out in the center of the page. The margins are equal on both sides. This is looking at single pages, not spreads.
<PM[M OZQL[ IZM OMVMZITTa WNN KMV\MZ I\ ÅZ[\ OTIVKM This is true for both single pages, and spreads. If used in spreads, the grid is not mirrored from one page to the next (as in symmetrical grids), but is more likely to appear repeated in a single position from page to page. Keeping the grid in the same position on each page doesn’t allow for it to be mirrored across spreads. As with all grid systems, attention to the relationship of the margins is important. Simply changing one margin to a different size makes a grid asymmetrical.
The term can also be applied to a grid system that is being used across facing pages. The position of the margins IVL \M`\ IZMI[ IZM [aUUM\ZQKITTa ZMÆMK\ML WZ UQZZWZML 1N you are looking at this as facing pages then the margins are not necessarily equal on all sides of the text. The margins then are symmetrical on the far right and left of the facing pages. (Remember that you are looking at this one as a spread.)
This book is an example of an asymmetrical grid

Columns & Layouts Notice how this page is layout out on the illustrated columns
When layouts for books or magazines are designed, text is positioned on the grid within columns, whicare formed by modules, allowing for more than on module or column per page. Using columns enables the designer to maintain consistent length.

The following is a list of the most often-used special characters and accent marks. On the following pages are the key combinations for just about every accent you might need.
the baseline. ™ is usually superscripted for the chosen font. ™ and ® are normally set higher then other marks. If you choose to superscript ®, reduce it to about 60% of the size.
Use copyright, register, and trademark marks properly The copyright, register, and trademark characters need to be reduced to work with body text. At times, depending on the typeface, you may need to reduce the mark between 50% and 70%. The goal is to match the x-height. The copyright mark should be approximately 70% of the surrounding text. Unlike the ™ symbol, the © should NOT be superscripted and should remain on
Use the ellipsis character and NOT three periods. Access the ellipsis by typing Option + : (colon). Allow a small amount of space before and after. However if it is not crowding the text, leave no space at all. Remember, to set an accent mark over a letter, press the Option key and the letter, then press the letter you want under it.

COMBINING TYPEFACES
139
Combining Typefaces When combining serif and sans serif text fonts, one shroud try and match the characteristics of form and type color: proportion, x-heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;?
Although there is not recipe there is a place to start: keep an eye on the characteristic shapes of the letter form. 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. {Using 2 different serif fonts or 2 different sans serifs fonts in the same composition is never a good idea}

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.
