Never fails to get me percolating on the subject.ДЄn additional way to go, of course, is for the contrast of distinctly different types. I love these sorts of real-life comparisons, Joel. вЂњUsing complementary combinations of typefaces can give your book pages a dimension, color and harmony they might not have otherwise.вЂќ What do you think, is it pretty readable to you? Reply One of the reasons I chose this Thesis theme for WordPress was the awareness on the part of Chris Pearson and Brian Clark about typography and how important it is to readability. The typeface IвЂ™m using on this blog is Verdana, which was designed for screen use, and is quite readable. So yes, I think the rules are basically the same. Whether on paper or on screen, very long lines with little space between them are going to cause problems for readers, for example. I have looked at Typekit, but havenвЂ™t gotten very far in evaluating it.ДЄs far as readability, I think what we know about how people read is somewhat independent of where they read it. Or it could just be my lack of experience. There doesnвЂ™t appear to be any convenient way to use real type fonts outside of what the engineers have allowed us, on the web. IвЂ™m mystified why so many blogs are set up in such a way as to be almost unreadable. I struggled quite a while to come up with a look for my blog that seemed at least readable. To be honest, I know little about website typography. Too often, these devices seem to be solely the product of engineers. But long text on e-Readers ought to reflect some of what weвЂ™ve learned in this area over the last 500 years. Keep in mind these are fonts mostly for book typography, which has pretty specific needs. Yes, I think these fonts would look good anywhere. IвЂ™ve teamed it with Myriad in the past, among others.

Out of the dozens of type families included, IвЂ™ve definitely used a number of them over the years.ДЄnd, yes, Minion is a terrific typeface for book body text.

As IвЂ™ve written numerous times on my blog about book design ( ), aside from my very first type purchaseвЂ“the Adobe Garamond and Futura families as a Christmas gift to myself in 1989 or 1990вЂ“my first real start t a typeface library was a collection of fonts Adobe included with the Illustrator 6 upgrade on CD. ThatвЂ™s one of the things of being a typophile, you realize pretty quickly that what your machine comes with is hardly the stuff for making great books (although, I must say, the Palatino and Avant Garde fonts that I loved on first site when I got my first Macintosh in 1989 still have attractive qualities, thoвЂ™ IвЂ™m not likely to ever use either in a book these days). Look at samples of eachвЂ“the same bit of text, if you canвЂ“side-by-side or one after the otherвЂ“and youвЂ™ll see it immediately. Janson is a serviceable text face, but has nowhere near the elegant beauty of Jenson. Janson is quite a different type, with a larger x-height. Um, no, Dave, the Jenson is labeled correctly.
