Memorable Quotes:

"The Typographic Pledge
(place your hand over your heart)
I will not stretch or squish type.
I will not outline type.
I will not stack type.
I will use prime marks and quotation marks appropriately.
I will appropriately use hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes.
I will honor the classic families of type.
I pledge not to commit crimes against typography."
