Notes from from Butterick's Practical Typography (adamadam.blog)

A blogger revisits Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style through Butterick’s Practical Typography, arguing that good typography should reinforce meaning and that there’s no one-size-fits-all “correct” solution. He draws analogies to theater, highlights practical web typesetting details (soft hyphens, kerning vs. letterspacing, and typographic rendering via SVG when needed), and critiques specific readability choices on his own site. The post also notes design lessons like avoiding distracting table borders and the pitfalls of legacy double spaces.
