Idiosyncratic paragraphs Text-only paragraphs differ from one another only in their words. All the words are typographically the same – typeface, spacings, line-lengths piled up into long deep columns.

All readers have encountered this problem in essays, articles, novels, news reports.

Nearly every paragraph in this book is deliberately unique. Edward Tufte, Seeing With Fresh Eyes variation
