Sorry, but I just couldn't

go on with a discussion

of outstanding type

without having at least one

example from this master

of phototypography.

Contrast and integration.

Notice how changes in color and typeface make obvious cues for image captions and body text.

Also, note the text wraps and positioning to lead the reader through and to integrate type

and image in the layout.

Nicely Set Typography Examples.

With this page, the real examples shown are what Peatah classifies as proper. Granted, correctly set type is sometimes more a subjective thing since there aren’t the obvious mistakes. So, you may or may not like these based on aesthetics; but hopefully typographic errors won’t be part of your decisions. Remember, Peatah wants your nicely-set typography examples, too. See the note under the thumbs up!
