Great resource CharmingMan! "In short always try to have a keen eye for the spacing between lettering at large sizes, there isn't a science to it the goal is simply to make the words look balanced and together." 2¢... I remember one of my professors a long time ago saying... when kerning your letters, imagine pouring a glass of water between them... it should be equal. Also... never leave one word on it's own line at the end of a paragraph. |

Users can always (and frequently) increase/decrease text-size though. Making it very hard to add line-breaks in there without risking your site breaking. You can definitely edit out a few words to make the lines fit w/o widows/orphans at standard settings, but I wouldn't suggest using line breaks. |

Nice one for this charming man, forwarded this to a friend and he wondered why he had spent £1200 on a course when he could have read this article instead. I'll get him to forward the monies, I'll just require your sort code and bank account details. |

yeah good idea. I would need to do some research of my own on this, not something that I have seen explained before. Though i have read before that it is a type crime to combine faces that are too similar i.e. universe, helvetica I recon typophile might have some good explanations on this though. I good bet is to choose fonts from the same family that have been specifically designed to work with each other. meta and meta serif for example —Freelancer for hire

just came by here again for the first time in a long time. Great stuff Charming Man. Actually, these kind of topics would fit better in some sort of wiki. Would be nice to capture all these things in an orderly fashion, and have a more accessible reference guide  |

all donations to the charmingman poverty fund: charmingman charming road charmed england all seriousness though i cant believe they dont bother to teach this stuff to undergraduate designers. I spent nearly £14grand on my degree all i got out of it was a massive overdraft and a drinking problem. —Freelancer for hire
