This is a bold claim, but I stand behind it: if you learn and follow these five typography rules, you will be a better typographer than nearly every writer—and even most graphic designers.
All it takes is ten minutes: five minutes to read these rules once. Then five minutes to read them again.
- The typographic quality of your document is determined largely by how the body text looks. […]
- Point size is how big the font is. In print, the most comfortable range for body text is 10–12 point. […]
- Line spacing is the vertical distance between lines. It should be 120–145% of the point size. […]
- Line length is the horizontal width of the text block. Line length should be an average of 45–90 characters per line […]
- And finally, font choice. […]
You’re welcome!
