Marcin WicharyI really like when typesetters go extra on small details, especially in places you wouldn’t expect them.

How about an absolutely magnificent shelf-like underline on a landmark plaque.

@mwichary Not that I'm going down a rabbit hole, but by changing "depth of cut" for a given word result in a different "width of face"? (page 41).

Still looking for the example I saw that was clearly Gorton and clearly a "bolded" word.
