ARRANGING GOTHIC TEXT ON THE PAGE

There are some traditional ways to arrange a page of Gothic lettering. Keep the texture heavy and the margins straight, not “ragged.” To make the lines of lettering come out equal, add strokes of ornamentation, enlarge the capitals, or use creative abbreviations. Don’t stretch or squeeze the line length by changing the spaces inside & around the letters. Its better to preserve the same letter spacing from line to line, & even up the right-hand margin inventively.
