Robert Bringhurst’s masterpiece is less of a style guide and more of a philosophical treatise on the relationship between text and the human eye.
A few core tenets to remember as I build out this site’s CSS:- Type is a visual form of language; it should honor the text it serves.
- Choose fonts with structural integrity over superficial novelty.
- Keep the line lengths comfortable (roughly 45 to 75 characters) to give the reader’s eye a rhythmic, predictable flow.
