Carl Shank is a layout and type designer having started with IBM Selectric Composers and phototypesetters in the early 1980s and then Apple LaserWriters in 1985 and beyond in addition to his pastoral and theological work. He worked for a regular Washington D.C. area print shop heading up the typesetting and layout department in the early 1980s. Carl designed an initial Greek font for the Zondervan Corporation in the early 1990s and has worked with his own company, CARE Typography, since the late 1980s. He has developed an appreciation for not merely the mechanics of good typesetting and layout work, but also the fine art of the craft of typesetting. These articles are from his website, caretypography.com, in the BLOG section of the site. He is grateful for all the professional typesetters and designers who have offered assistance over the years and submit this booklet as a summary of best typesetting and layout practices that he has gleaned from many experts in the fields of printing and typesetting.
