A Source Of Ongoing Confusion

The Baskerville typeface was based upon Baskerville’s preferred handwriting, and has become known as one of the first designs in the transitional style. Transitional typefaces have thinner serifs than their predecessors in the old-style, and a greater contrast between thick and thin strokes. These contrasts in stroke help to define Baskerville’s shape, making it more legible than old-style typefaces such as Caslon. Baskerville’s typeface achieved a delicacy previously unseen and appeared crisp on the page, making it ideal for large volumes of text. Perhaps the most notable character in Baskerville’s typeface is the famous uppercase Q, its tail a flourish from his past as a writing master, however the lowercase g is also notable for its unclosed lower bowl and curled ear. Baskerville’s perfectionism required him to inspect Handy’s punches with a microscope to ensure their quality, and he refused to use the same punchcut for more than one printing run.

Humans hope for good weather to turn good crops, peace between different tribes, and strong healthy families, but all humans have a fear of war, hunger, and the unknown.

Misconceptions are often associated with erroneous opinions and views of people who lived centuries ago. Some of our commonly regarded concepts originated in ancient times and were based on faulty thinking or skewed understandings. Consequently, these stereotypes are not a vestige of the past, they are still prevalent today because there are so many things we humans still do not know but are quick to accept. Day-by-day, consciously or subconsciously people continue to perpetuate stereotypes to some degree. Further, commenting on one's culture, age, gender, education, or life situation the interlocutor expresses an opinion based on a personal understanding of the issue. The personal position or belief is the conclusion of indirect experience,

Graphic design set its first roots in Germany in 1455 with the introduction of the Blackletter typeface and Johannes Gutenberg’s Gutenberg Bible. Coined as the godfather of printing Gutenberg helped to spread Blackletter in popularity. With the advent of Martin Luther’s New Testament, however, a schism was created between those that chose to use

script and transitional to name a few. These earlier fonts that were developed would fall under

His type was modern to the eye and pioneered a completely new style adding wide margins and leading between each line. His style influenced that of Bondoni and Didot His type faces introduced the modern, pseudoclassical style, with level serifs and with emphasis on the contrast of light and heavy lines. This style influenced that of the Didot family in France and that of Bodoni in Italy. Books printed by Baskerville are typically large, with wide margins, made with excellent paper and ink.Baskerville type has been revived, its clarity and balance making it a good type for continuous reading.

Trajan harmonizes poorly with most body text typefaces, and its refined scale and extreme formality rarely seem suitable for book work. It is impossible to set the type in a suitably large size, leaving characters that ought to appear imposing and grand looking feeble alongside a more robust text type.

Now, in all fairness, it's not uncommon that organizations gradually accumulate a disjointed or eclectic set of rules and standards over time despite their acknowledged inefficacies among those who toil there.

When discussing communication, it is important to make a distinction between safety and comfort. This distinction between safety and comfort was made by Bochner in his paper “Things that Boggle my mind”. In his paper he criticizes schools for confusing safety and comfort. He says it is crucial for students to have a safe environment to learn but being comfortable is not essential. For someone to be safe they do not necessarily have to be comfortable. In fact, Bochner talks about the importance of students feeling uncomfortable. He brings up the fact that in his personal life some of the most important lessons he learned have been during times when he was safe but extremely uncomfortable. Now while I am not talking about public education in

some of the works we look to today when we speak of the development of the typography and printing fields. An influence to other well-known typographers such as Bodoni and Didot and printers such as Benjamin Franklin, Baskervilles’ works met with hostility in the English Isles. Baskerville was more than a typographer; he was an artist, printer and stonecutter. He developed his own inks and papers, seeking the perfect surface and substances for many of his endeavors including printing and japanning.
