    0:00 "Typography is . . . . " - that's a rare thing on RUclips nowdays. I just subcribed. 🙂

    As someone commented out, I will repeat them: Just straight to the point. No bullshit to keep us engaged to your video. Thanks for valuing your viewers more than the views you got.

    In typography, “leading” rhymes with “wedding”, because it derives from how much lead-the metal-was inserted between lines in metal type.

      @OrvilleChomer 2 месяца назад +4

      I know that I pronounced this word like 'leading experts say...' for years, until I read a book font electronic publishing that explained what you just said. And I went 'Ahhh!' Now this term actually made sense!

    • @karenm2669
      @karenm2669 2 месяца назад

      That's what I'd thought, too. So that jarred a little, but the rest of this video filled in so many gaps in my understanding.

    • @gavinlewis666
      @gavinlewis666 2 месяца назад

      Yeah, I came down here to say that. Really useful video, though, I learned a lot from it

    • @HenryLoenwind
      @HenryLoenwind Месяц назад

      Also, it refers to the property of the font, not to how it is set. The minimal distance between the baselines, as you physically cannot move them closer together. You can always add spacers between the lines, but you can't make two pieces of metal overlap.

    Great video. A handy starter for newbies. One correction… in the print world, there are 72 points to an inch. (12 points to a pica and six picas to an inch.) Also, a small thing… the word leading is pronounced "led-ing." Rhymes with "heading."

    @karenm2669 2 месяца назад +6

    Extremely good video. I'm not formally trained but have read oh so many books over the years and have been doing a lot of things right. Some things I've been doing wrong, but since I never knew what error I was making I've spent way too much time using a "trial and nah-don't-like-that-try-again" approach. Saved this one in my Watch Again playlist and immediately subscribed.

    I come from the other (read older) side of the house; a rare bird these days, letterpress. This was a lot of information, succinctly put. I will say, my biggest peeve is ill-considered kerning. Irrational, perhaps, but it drives me to boundary of rage (I'm seeking help for this). Good work.
