Type SizeRelationshipWe have some basic rules for typesetting. Choosethe proper size of type in relation to the width ofthe column:8 on 9, 9 on 10, 10 on 11 pt for columns upto 70 mm.12 on 13, 14 on 16 for columns up to 140 mm.16 on 18, 18 on 20, for larger columns.Naturally every situation may require a differentratio. For display reasons we like to set the typemuch larger or increase the leading to achieve aparticular effect.Basically we stick to no more then two type sizeson a printed page, but there are exceptions.We like to play off small type with larger type -usually twice as big (for instance, 10 pt text and20 pt headings). I prefer to keep the same size forheads and subheads in a text, and just make themin bold, with a line space above and none below,or two line spaces above and one below accordingto the context.We love type size consistency in a book, which isalso more economical since you can set a stylepage and stick to it.TitleTitleLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra gravidaullamcorper neque.

There are situations, however, as inpackaging design where a more flexible attitudecould provide better results. But even there, whenused, should be with great moderation.TitleLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra gravidaullamcorper neque.
