Bringhurst v3.0 (2004) vs. v4.0 (2012)
I've found a cheap copy of v3 and I don't know if v4 is worth spending three times the price.
Covering those 8 years is important to me but, does v4 really add interesting info? Please and thank you.
(Of course I'm talking about The Elements Of Typographic Style)
Wait. Em-dashes are a sign of AI-generated text? Good thing that i follow #Bringhurst’s idea – spaced en-dashes.
— Like the oversized space between sentences, (the em-dash) belongs to the padded and corseted aesthetic of Victorian typography
Oh, but the em-dash is »the normal European method of marking dialog«. Eastern European? Not really German, or English.
Huh.
Just now (after my copy of #Bringhurst’s Typographic Style arrived) i promptly came across the next copy of this Q with a long tail.
This isn’t so much »#Garamond«, but a 42 point titling font cut by Claude Garamond.
That is, one version (size &c. that is one font) of what became the basis for the modern typefaces named Garamond.
