<![CDATA[Alfred's Serif Users' Forums — Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles]]>2024-10-19T00:34:09ZPunBBhttps://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=773<![CDATA[Re: Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles]]>I hadn't noticed that a significantly smaller type was that common. When I produced a magazine, I generally used italic type of the same size as the body text for captions. Either that, or using a sans-serif font (when the body text is a serif font) seems to be usual, although it does seem that the latter is often a little smaller, but emboldened (as in Geographical). The important thing is for the captions to be readily distinguishable from the body text.]]>https://punster.me/serif/profile.php?id=92024-10-19T00:34:09Zhttps://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=5848#p5848<![CDATA[Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles]]>I know that using smaller type for captions within articles is a widespread practice.
I find it unhelpful and that it makes reading the captions difficult.
