Whomst styles? An Article by Robin Sloan www.robinsloan.com This is a “whostyle”: an attempt to carry the ~timbre~ of an author’s voice, in the form of their design sensibility, through into a quotation. It’s the author who defines their whostyle; the quoting site just honors it, a frame around their words. I think the whostyle makes a few arguments. Among them: Text is more than a string of character codes. Its design matters, typography and layout alike; these things support (or subvert!) its affect, argument, and more. The web should be more colorful and chaotic, along nearly every dimension. The past five years have brought a flood of new capabilities, hugely expressive — let’s use them! Quoting is touchy, and anything you can do to cushion it with respect and hospitality is a plus. Whostyles hypermediatypographystyleblogging
