<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label typo-style</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Typography tutorials</h3>
<p/>Peter Wilson&#8217;s article <i>memdesign</i> has a lengthy introductory
section on typographic considerations, which is a fine tutorial,
written by someone who is aware of the issues as they apply to
(La)TeX users.  (<i>Memdesign</i> now distributed separately from
the manual for his <i>memoir</i> class, but was originally part of
that manual)
<p/>There&#8217;s also (at least one) typographic style tutorial available on
the Web, the excellent 
&#8220;<a href="http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~hedrick/typography/typography.janson-syntax.107514.pdf">Guidelines for Typography in NBCS</a>&#8221;.
In fact, its 
<a href="http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~hedrick/typography/index.html">parent page</a>
is also worth a read: among other things, it provides copies of the
&#8220;guidelines&#8221; document in a wide variety of primary fonts, for
comparison purposes.  The author is careful to explain that he has no
ambition to supplant such excellent books as
<a href="FAQ-typebooks.html">Bringhurst&#8217;s</a>, but the document (though it does
contain its Rutgers-local matter) is a fine introduction to the issues
of producing readable documents.
