Typographic Sins

Sep 17, 2010

An interesting list of thirty-four ‘sins’ to not commit in typography, created by Jim Godfrey.

“Jim Godfrey is a typography teacher. Jim Godfrey is often irritated by the typographic sins of students who join his class semester after semester. Jim Godfrey decided to do something about it and, after consulting with his colleague Patrick Wilkey, a list of 34 unprofessional ways to set type was drafted.”

I love the content, but isn’t it a little ironic that I find the poster a bit hard to read…?

Keep in mind, this was originally designed for a 12×18 poster. I agree though, the online version isn’t the easiest to read at this point size.
