MarcC Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great job, Marty. I too really appreciate your aesthetic. The IA site is my favorite that you've made, and I was thinking we could commission Levent Efe to do a cutaway illustration of your web designer brain for your forum profile photo. Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Romero Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I love all of those, but I can’t help but notice how the dignified feel of Eat-Drink-Royal is undermined by the neglected typography. Consider installing SuperSmartypants if you have no control over the texts. Here’s a comparison of the original and two versions with curly quotes and hairspaces: Gotta love that her name is Quayle. It’s far too rare that typefaces get to show off a capital Q, arguably one of the most beautiful characters in any font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKobrakai Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would suggest that, too. Espeacially for a "Royal" enviroment correct quotes and dashes should be used. While the use of different quotation (”“»«, not " ') marks is mostly an aestetic choice, besides cultural preferences, there are rules to the useage of different dashes and the hyphen. I can only speak for the rules in the german speaking area, so I would suggest looking at local rulesets. But for Germany the version with hypens would be plain wrong, at least from a typographical standpoint, and the one with the large dash would also be a suboptimal choice, but not as bad as a hyphen. The large dash is kinda old school and originates in price labels like so: 19.—€. That would be the historicly correct usage, while it's todays usage is more like a gimmicy eye-catcher.

gurkendoktor Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 are you sure about using the "wegstrich" / "geviertstrich" ( — ) in prices? usually i thought it's the "halbgeviertstrich" / hyphen ( – ) … i'm curious, it's been a while for me since i last had practical application for this knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKobrakai Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Prices are it's historical use. Today it's mostly used to "enhance" the typographical look. Also "halbgeviertstrich" or "ndash" is not a hyphen. A hyphen is a "bindestrich" and even shorter. (— vs. – vs. - ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
