<![CDATA[Alfred's Serif Users' Forums — Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles]]> https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=773 Sat, 19 Oct 2024 00:34:09 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles]]> https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=5848#p5848 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.

I find it unhelpful and that it makes reading the captions difficult.

What is your opinion on this please?
