To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the type- body of one page of fifty lines is one three-hun- dredth part of an inch shorter than that of another page, then the first page will be one-sixth of an inch shorter than its mate. In a column of two hundred lines, the difference will be two-thirds of an inch. If the two discrepant bodies be put in the same line, as they have to be in the displayed words of a catalogue or a dictionary, the differ- ence in bodies which is unnoticed in the first line makes a serious crookedness in the... tenth line, and this crookedness will keep increasing with every succeeding line. In all offices the rule prevails that there must be no mixing of types from different foundries, even if they are apparently of the same face and body. To disobey this rule is to create disorder; to mix the types of two fonts spoils both fonts. Accuracy Maintained with Difficulty 125 The contrasting, side by side, of a composition of twenty or more lines of two fonts that seem alike will prove that they are seriously unlike.
