And as a book designer and publisher, I think that having large spaces after a
full stop is both unnecessary and vulgar.
Quote from the blog:
"While the modern convention is the single space, it is no less
arbitrary than any other, and if you believe that larger spaces
after periods look better in some situation, you should feel
confident that your choice is supported by hundreds of years of good
typographical practice. For the record, before we go further, my
preference is not for double-spacing, but for a slightly larger
sentence space, about 1.5 times an interword space for most
typefaces. But unlike the modern single-space fanatics, I don’t
judge anyone’s aesthetic preferences, nor will I try to make up
fairy tales using fabricated history to convince you."
