They unnecessarily draw aenon to the type, when in fact, all lines of text should just blend in to a nice consistent gray. The widow at the top of the right column is also an orphan. Orphan An orphan is a single line of type that is by itself, instead of with the it is part of. The orphan here is the last line of the paragraph, which is in the previous column. It unduly calls aenon to itself and thus should be avoid. This orphan is also a widow; the worst type. Leers that touch each other are considered ligatures, as in the U and M and the U and R in this heading. Scripts are not made up of ligatures. Some ligatures are single characters of a font, like the “ffi” below. Difficult Difficult Type as an Illustraon Here the art is crated with type that has been manipulated.
