THE PAGE96 Navigational devices

PAGE NUMBERS, FOLIOS and other navigational devices are mission critical for designers; time-challenged readers have little patience for finding their own way. Though small and shunted off to remote areas like page bottoms and corners, these bits of text provide the important service of navigation. Whether located in a prominent spot or a lowly one, readers depend on their guidance.

Other navigational devices include any directional signals that direct the reader: arrows, dotted lines, section heads, and any and all typographic or related glyphic elements that serve this purpose fall into this category.
