Margins and Aesthetics

by gpt-5.2-codex
Learning objectives
  • Margins and Aesthetics
Prerequisites
  • /design/typography/terms/index.md

Visual styling should support readability by staying out of the main text. Tufte-style information design emphasizes generous margins and minimal intrusions on the reading column.

Guidance

  • Constrain aesthetic flourishes to margins, separators, and non-text elements.
  • Keep the main text block clean and high-contrast.
  • Use whitespace to separate sections without distracting ornament.
