5 Basic Rules on Typography

Written by Granny's Mettle


Continued from page 1

Rule No. 3- Putting two spaces after a period is a no-no.

Inrepparttar olden times, when typewriters arerepparttar 107163 thingamajigs for writers, two spaces after a period wasrepparttar 107164 rule to indicaterepparttar 107165 end of a sentence.

Withrepparttar 107166 onset of technology, fonts have characters of their own, with different widths, that putting two spaces after a period is no longer needed. Sometimes, this rule can create a rather annoying flaw that creates a stop rather than help you pinpointrepparttar 107167 end of every sentence.

Rule No. 4- DO NOT use all capital letters.

One designer said that when using all capitals inrepparttar 107168 text, there are no ascenders or descenders. The two are what makes it easy to identifyrepparttar 107169 shape of a word. "The shape of almost every word becomes a rectangle, and it's harder to read."

But this doesn't also mean that you cannot use capital letters. Where can you use capital letters? Short phrases or headings do look attractive in all caps. Sans serif also works better in all caps.

Rule No. 5- DO NOT center large quantities of text.

The eyes go from left to right when reading. It'srepparttar 107170 way to go. It rapidly scans one line, then goes fromrepparttar 107171 right side ofrepparttar 107172 page back torepparttar 107173 left side ofrepparttar 107174 page. When text is centered, it makes it harder forrepparttar 107175 eyes to be told to find whererepparttar 107176 next text begins again onrepparttar 107177 left side ofrepparttar 107178 page, and makes it easy forrepparttar 107179 reader to skip down lines of text.

This time, it's not too easy to bendrepparttar 107180 rules. The best way is still to save centering to headings that don't run more than several lines deep.
