The odd thing is, these standards almost always dictate sociopathic design that reduces readability and restricts emotional range:
* The fonts are often sans-serif and hard to read.
* Design techniques like reverse type, type over color and colored type only make things worse. (For a commonsense approach to readability and design, read “Type & Layout: Are You Communicating or Just Making Pretty Shapes,” by Colin Wheildon.)
