Consideration of ease of reading is so essential in theplanning of printed matter that every principle helping toachieve comfort in the assimilation of the message conveyed hy words should always be in the forefront of thetypographer mind. On what does ease of reading depend? On the simpleness of the type design, on the lengthof the type lines and on their leading, on the si)acing ofwords, and on a principle either misunderstood or sadlyignored: that of appropriate choice of type face for thepaper on which it is to be printed. Many type faces appropriate for the moderate copy of advertisements are ina])-propriate for continuous reading in the book or magazinepage: many type faces readable in the larger text sizeslose their clarity in the smaller sizes. Wise choices forsmall text are, therefore, type faces of unobtrusive character and type faces of large x-height whose maximum face-to-body size aids readability. Simpleness of type design isas much to be desired as sheer beauty of type character,though happily the two virtues often go hand in hand.

Consider also the spacing of words. Wide spacingcauses the appearance of disintegration of the type paneland spreads the copy to occupy more space than it needs:excessively close spacing causes tlie words to run into oneanother and detracts the reader's thought from the ideaspresented by the words. Most typographers agree that athick or middle space is sufficient between words set inlower case—even in display types — and an en spacebetween words in capital letters. As a generalisation thatwill do very well, but shall we consider tlie matter moreclosely? The expanded and large x-height type faces callfor a slight increase in word spacing, though a thick spaceis usually satisfactory; condensed type faces and those ofsmall x-height agreeably accept the middle space.

Appropriate length of type line for ease of reading canso readily be decided upon that no loss of comfort needresult in this respect, and appropriate measures for various widths and sizes of type may easily be found. TAmitsare, it is true, frequently imposed hy the shape of spaceand the amount of copy to he arranged therein, but instances where reading is made needlessly di^cult all too oftenmeet our eyes: the excessively wide measure, for instance,which causes the reader to stumble in picking up'' thesuccessive line of type or to begin reading a second timethe same line of type; and the excessively narrow measures causing frequent breaking of words and greatirregularity in their spacing as ivell as intermittent letter
