It is an art in that what it does, it does for its own sake, according to its own internal sense of what is beautiful and right. It is a craft in that what it does, it does for a purpose outside itself: it provides a means of storing, shaping and conveying information. Typography is, therefore, a selfless art -- a contradiction in terms, perhaps -- and is at its best when it is least perceived to be doing anything, indeed when there is no active awareness of perceiving it, directly, at all, but rather perceiving, through it, the knowledge which animates the type on the page. Quality in typography results from an effortless perfection of conception and execution in the creation of a balance between beauty \& utility: compromising neither, calling attention to neither, yet achieving both.\thinspace\nobreak\leaders\hrule\hfill\null\par} %%% The following pangrams were collected by David Lemon of Adobe Systems, Inc. %%% This is just a small sample from the entire collection. \pantext={Brick quiz whangs jumpy veldt fox. Nymphs vex, beg quick fjord waltz. Quick wafting zephyrs vex bold Jim. West quickly gave Bert handsome prizes for six juicy plums. Freight to me sixty dozen quart jars and twelve black pans. My help squeezed back in again and joined the weavers after six. Turgid saxophones blew over Mick's jazzy quiff. Five wine experts jokingly quizzed sample chablis. My grandfather picks up quartz and valuable onyx jewels. Mix Zapf with Veljovic and get quirky Beziers. All questions asked by five watch experts amazed the judge. Back in June we delivered oxygen equipment of the same size. We have just quoted on nine dozen boxes of grey lamp wicks. A large fawn jumped quickly over white zinc boxes. The exodus of jazzy pigeons is craved by squeamish walkers.\thinspace\nobreak\leaders\hrule\hfill\hbox{}\par} \loremtext={Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh eusi\-mod tincidunt ut laor\-eet dolore magna ali\-quam erat volutpat.
