9781332335978: The Magazine Style-Code, 1906

Synopsis

This comprehensive guidebook, a consolidated collection of the author's earlier works, is an authoritative guide to typography for the working printer. It is particularly valuable for its recommendations for consistent style and spelling, which were non-existent in the newspaper and periodical industry at the time of publication. The author outlines practical applications for nuanced punctuation and capitalization of words, the systematic formatting of abbreviations and numbers and the usage of italics, foreign phrases, and special characters. By incorporating scholarship and technical knowledge of prominent authors and printers, this systematic style guide not only provides a wealth of guidance and resources for the practicing and aspiring typographer, but also provides insight into the author's aim to standardize typographic best practices for contemporary and future generations.
