Typography isn't just decoration.

Most of the typography posts on this blog are about letterforms and visual works of art. But there's a quiet side to typography that matters just as much: hierarchy, spacing, and structure in everyday business writing.

This is a real before/after from an editing job. Same content, same facts — one version is a wall of text, the other has headers and short paragraphs. One gets read. The other gets skimmed and forgotten.

If you're a typography designer, I'm curious: how do you think about readability vs. visual style when designing fonts or doing type work?
