Typography and Desktop Publishing
by Andreas Ruping.
Desktop publishing software offers a variety of features to influence the typography and the layout of documents[3][4]. However, typography is a science and an art in itself. To produce documents that look good and read well, authors must use these features with care. This paper presents a few aspects of typography in pattern form. The paper serves the following purposes: • It describes and motivates five typographical rules that are quite important and that can easily be implemented on standard desktop publishing systems. Users of such systems can apply these rules immediately to their own documents. • It demonstrates that typographical rules aren’t arbitrary rules, but are in fact patterns. Each rule is a solution to a problem and resolves a number of forces, even if readers normally aren’t aware of the effects that these forces represent. [via]
