Gutjahr and Megan L. Benton argue that “the ethic of typographic invisibility” has prevailed in Western bookmaking since the time of Gutenberg. Typography is primarily a visual art; and perhaps if li- brarians attended to traditional uses of ty- pography in printed books, they might learn more from the objects that surround them in their daily work and even learn to apply that learning to the way readers in- teract with words, both in print and online.—Cecile M.
