THE PARAGRAPH74 The text block effect
WORDS BEG TO BE CLUSTERED TOGETHER to form chunks. One of the many arrows in a designer’s quiver is the text block effect: look at the content and see how it can be packed inside a rectangle or square, aligned on all sides. Sometimes this can be accomplished by keeping the text all one size; other designs require massaging point sizes and varying weights and widths to achieve a solid shape. These efforts work best when the text is a single typestyle or type family.
