MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
True
False
Answer explanation
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
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.

How many hyphens should I have in a row in a paragraph?
One
Three
Two
Answer explanation
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’s wrong with this typeset?
