CHRIS TARAMPI > TYPE 1: HIERARCHY & FORM | ALIGNMENTS & LINESPACING garamond 2 LINE SPACING & ALIGNMENT _1 The arrangement of text into columns with hard or soft edges is called alignment. The distance from the baseline of one line of type to another is called line spacing. _5 Each basic style of alignment brings aesthetic qualities and potential hazards to It is also called leading, in reference to the strips of lead used to separate lines of Justified metal type. The default setting in most layout and imaging software is slightly the design of page or screen. text, which has even edges on both left greater than the cap height of the letters. Expanding this distance creates a text and right, has been the norm since the invention of printing with movable type, block with a lighter, more open color. As line spacing increases further, the lines of which enabled the creation of page after page of straight-edged columns.

Ugly gaps can occur, however, when the line length is too short in rela- tion to the size of type used.

This format, which was rarely used before the twentieth century, respects the flow of language rather than submitting to the law of the box. Despite its advan- tages, however, the flush left format is frought with danger. Above all, the The distance from the baseline of one line of type to another is called line spacing. _7 designer must work hard to control the appearance of the rag along the left edge. It is also called leading, in reference to the strips of lead used to separate lines of A good rag looks pleasantly uneven, with no lines that are exessively long or short, and with hyphenation kept to an absolute minimum. A rag is considered metal type. The default setting in most layout and imaging software is slightly “bad” when it looks too even (or too uneven), or when it begins to form greater than the cap height of the letters. Expanding this distance creates a text regular shapes, like wedges, moons, or diving boards. block with a lighter, more open color. As line spacing increases further, the lines of type become independent linear elements rather than parts of an overall texture. _3 Flush right / ragged left is a varient of the more fimiliar flush left setting. It is common wisdom among typographers that flush right text is hard to read, because it forces the reader’s eye to find a new position at the start of each line. The distance from the baseline of one line of type to another is called line spacing. _8 This could be true, or it could be an urban legend.
