| May 20, 2022 at 15:12 | comment | added | Wolff | @PhinJensen, designers do like to pay attention to details like this. But it's just that (AFAIK) there aren't really any resources that tries to classify all historical typographic patterns. Understandable as the workload would be enormous. The possibilities are virtually endless as you experience when you open a blank document in InDesign. A classification system could be based on when we first see a certain pattern, but man ... imagine going through all books in history and deciding for each typographical pattern if it should have its own name or if it's a hybrid of two existing patterns. | |

It is admittedly quite a small detail, but isn't that what designers like to pay attention to? Thanks for sharing your and your wife's thoughts. | |
