Der Reiz der Wörter — Nachtwachen
Nachtwachen (engl.: Night Watch)
Book: Der Reiz der Wörter — Eine Anthologie zum 150-jährigen Bestehen des Reclam-Verlages
Font: Garamond SB Roman in 12pt (headlines), 10pt (text) and 9pt (food notes)
I found this book in a vending machine at a metro station in Berlin.
This book is a compilation of short stories and their interpretation. Each short story or poem is indented and thus stands out from the interpretation. The font Garamond is after the DIN font classification 16518 a French Renaissance Antiqua. Characteristic are more consistent letter shapes and the transverse line of the e is almost straight. The readability is very good. Quotes and other highlights are in italics. The line spacing is quite low at 10.5pt to 11pt, but the space was used optimally. This layout is in my opinion very clean and does not scream for attention. All in all, it's a wonderful mix of layout, font, font size, and line spacing.
