Extending Control of Digital Typography.
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: Increasing refined typographic fit is possible in digitally composed documents. While micro-typography in current documents is crudely shrunk or expanded to solve problems of typographic distribution or fit, the result is both obvious and ugly. In contrast, the system presented in this article solves space problems quietly and harmoniously. Using eight interactive parameters, the author visually demonstrates and discusses the strategy for paragraph-fit, page-fit, chapter-fit and one-page-fit. These practical additions to control micro-typography increase the speed and quality of overall document production and ease the task of the reader.
