typography (GanS 5)

The art of selecting and laying out type so as to harmonise the appearance of a book (or other printed matter) with its contents. The headers of the award-winning series, Gerva an Scrynkyer, have been designed by the celebrated Cornish typesetter An Olsetyer Dyspuyssant. And the quality of his designs certainly matches that of the lexicography within!! Another dictionary that fits this criterion—that appearance should match content—is George's noted Gerlyver Kres, whose typographical (and scholarly) solecisms are enough to make both grown men blench, and the editors of the Oxford Manual of Style contemplate hara-kiri.
