Subjects

Everything published here, by subject.

Typography

The measure, the type scale, optical size, the golden canon. What a subsetter removes, and why the em dash is not the en dash.

Calligraphy

The broad-edged pen, chancery italic, uncials, and how a page is ruled before anything is written on it.

Printing

Imposition, registration, trapping, paper weights, and the vocabulary the bindery still uses.

Two series run across those: Designing a reading page in four parts, and Ink and press in three.
