Letter Compositions, ContinuedOverlappinglettersOverlapping letters is a valid design concept particularly with informallettering layouts. When overlapping letters, take care not to overly deformthe integrity of the letters and render them illegible. Allow enough letterform to remain so that the eye can fill in the remaining parts and identify theletter.Figure 5-45 is an example of properly overlapped letters.Figure 5-45.—Properly overlapped letters.Negative lettersLetters rendered in negative format are simply letters where the space aroundthem is filled in and the letters themselves appear empty. Negative letters aremore appropriately suited to informal lettering layouts.Figure 5-46 shows a negative letter format.Figure 5-46.—Negative letters.5-42
