Good typography does not wave its arms at the reader; it pulls out a well-proportioned chair, adjusts the lamp so there is no glare upon the page, and steps quietly back.
When preparing our digital PDF monographs at 1000 Golden Words, we reject the cramped, edge-to-edge formatting of standard e-books. Instead, every PDF edition is composed at a true book trim proportion with a 62-character measure, old-style proportional numerals, and true small capitals. Whether you read on an iPad in the evening or print a signature at your desk, the page honors your eyes.
