Nice article, I would also add letter-spacing and kerning even though I don’t always have time for the latter.
While I thank you for the code that I didn’t know (self taught), this kind of makes me chuckle.
Everyday major news stories from the big media, especially AP, run with glaring typos and unchecked “facts” presented as gospel.
Nearly every “news” story now comes with basic grammar errors. The way of the new world I fear.
TeresaE: sure all those things are problems as well. I’m not saying good typography will cover up or excuse bad fact checking or typos. A conscientious writer/designer checks for those things too.
