Reverse type works very well if you use it for the headline only, but the rest of the text is "normal." Also: reverse type is practically a must for powerpoint slides, so that when you project it on the wall, the background doesn't "overshine" the text. Re: negative type

Can I disagree? Reverse type works very well if you use it for the headline only, but the rest of the text is “normal.”

Also: reverse type is practically a must for powerpoint slides, so that when you project it on the wall, the background doesn’t “overshine” the text.

And I'm not sure why. Probably it's what we've been exposed to for so long. I've changed to serif online, and in many cases had clients who want it to go back to sans-serif. Now the interesting part, is that they read it in sans-serif, but as soon as they print it, they prefer serif. Ah, what a strange world we live in. And luckily that problem can be solved with technology. Serif fonts are indeed easier to read on the web. And I’m not sure why. Probably it’s what we’ve been exposed to for so long.

That the error did cause a burr in your brain. I wish I'd made the 'error' on purpose :) but the truth is I didn't. But it proved a point all the same, so I'll leave the error in place.

It's because they are much easier to read on the web! Why then do you use sans serif fonts? It’s because they are much easier to read on the web!

Does your text detract? Is the grammatical error in the headline part of the attention grabbing?

Does your text detract?
