Reverse-contrast typefaces
[edit]
Reverse-contrast type sample, 1828.
- ... that reverse-contrast typefaces reverse the normal structure of the printed letter in order to attract attention?

- Comment: Article created in my sandbox on Oct 23, moved to mainspace on the evening of Oct 23 (UK time). A few sentences of the French Clarendon section are developed from my earlier contributions to the Clarendon article, but this is not relevant to the hook.

Bizarrely, I found this a really interesting article! The length and date of creation/nomination check out fine. The hook is appropriately cited inline in the article, so an offline source. Both ref #3 and ref #21 appear to back the fact up, #3 is offline, but #21 is online and the hook fact is mentioned. Spotchecks on the sources reveal no evidence of copyvio or close para-phrasing. Good to go. Harrias talk 07:44, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
