 ▓ ░ ███  The concept of making text type interesting to the eye, and  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  in so doing make the reading experience a better one, has    ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  been discussed many times. An interesting view is that the   ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  punchcutter was well aware of the need for subtle            ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  irregularities in the letterforms he cut. It can be          ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  suggested that these irregularities break the systematic     ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  monotony of the reading experience.                          ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███                                                               ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  The theory is that character irregularities will, when the   ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  type is set, give the text a lively pattern, nothing         ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  startling, but with just enough interest to entice the eye.  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  Perhaps, today the irregularities of punchcutting, once      ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  lost to industrialization, could be reintroduced in an       ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  attempt to reinvigorate the reading experience. This idea    ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  was developed through the design of Kingfisher.              ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███                                                               ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  A slight irregularity has been added to the letters to make  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  the overall flow of the type seem less rigid. Several of     ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  the lowercase letters, for example, incorporate some degree  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  of movement and the illusion of a slight slope has been      ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  added to the verticals. All this imparts a very subtle       ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  restlessness to the text. As the font design progressed it   ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  was tested for text-setting suitability. A model double-     ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  page book spread was set up, this was printed using each     ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  new trial version of Kingfisher. Seeing the letters perform  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  together as text made it easier to weed out problems. It     ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  also made it possible to evaluate the desirable colour of    ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  the developing font. Modifications could be made and slowly  ███ ░ ▓
 ▓ ░ ███  the letters came together.                                   ███ ░ ▓
