MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

True or false: Two typefaces that are very similar but not exactly the same will pair well together.

True

False

Answer explanation

Media Image

Pairing two very similar typefaces can make your design look flat and confuse readers, because their small differences are hard to spot. This clash can distract from your message. For strong design, mix distinct fonts, like a serif with a sans-serif, to add depth and make your text easy to read. Experiment with different combos, but always aim for clear contrast and a unified look.

Is it a good idea to increase the tracking significantly for words with lowercase letters in professional typesetting?

Yes

No

Answer explanation

Media Image

Increasing the tracking can make lowercase text hard to read. This can slow a reader down and make the text less clear.

Generally, it is not recommended to track lowercase text too wide or too narrow.

The ideal tracking value for lowercase letters is normally 0.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Media Image

How many hyphens should I have in a row in a paragraph?

One

Three

Two

Answer explanation

Media Image

By setting the hyphenation limit to “1” we can limit the amount of hyphens in a row.

Some designers choose to turn hyphenation off entirely, opting to manually adjust their rag. This can take more time but improves the readability of the paragraph. (I do this!)

What is wrong with this paragraph?

The rag has not been adjusted properly.

The line length is too short.

The leading is too tight.

The typeface they chose is ugly.

Answer explanation

Media Image

By fine-tuning our rag, we can enhance readability and achieve a cleaner, more attractive design layout.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Media Image

What’s wrong with this typeset?

The designer should have used a multiplication sign instead of an x

The x should be smaller

The numbers should use an oldstyle alignment

The designer should have used an uppercase X

Answer explanation

Media Image

When discussing numbers, you should always use a multiplication sign instead of an “x” character.

For example, “our company has increased its profits 2× this year.”

You can find this symbol in the glyphs panel.

An orphan

A fractional word

Orphans make a page look messy and can make reading awkward by leaving just one word or a short line all alone at the top or bottom of a page or sentence.
