HOW TO ALIGN TYPE
HOW TO ALIGN TYPE - @morejanda - Type should be aligned optically. This means that it should appear “visually” aligned (which is not always numerically aligned).⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with a strong vertical stem, align on the margin.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with a curve hang over the margin. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with crossbars (T’s) hang over the margin.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with straight strokes align on the baseline.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with curved strokes dip below the baseline. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with serifs hang over the margin.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Letters with an angled stem hang over the margin.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ There is no perfect overlap measurement system. You must use your judgment.⁣⁣⁣ -
