In-Depth Information
InDesign offers many features for fine-tuning typography, including drop caps for leading
the eye into a paragraph, Optical Margin Alignment for hanging punctuation outside the
edge of a frame, precision line-spacing and character-spacing controls, and the ability to
automatically balance text in columns.
Getting started
In this lesson, you'll fine-tune the typography in a restaurant review for a high-end life-
styles magazine. For the rich look of the magazine, the type is precisely spaced and format-
ted: It uses a baseline grid for aligning text across columns, actual fractions in the recipes,
and decorative touches, such as drop caps and pull quotes.
1. To ensure that the preference and default settings of your Adobe InDesign program
