Sans-serif typefaces compensate for their basic handicap, an absence of serifs, with a softening modulation typical of roman typefaces. Grotesques often inherit a hypertrophy of the x-height, which is very efficient, but not very beautiful. They are like dogs with fat bodies and short legs. Why do we love old Garamonds? Beside beautifully modelled details, they possess aspect-ratios of parts within characters that timelessly and beauteously parallel the anatomy of the human body. Proportions of thighs, arms or legs have their universal rules, but cannot be measured by pixels and millimetres. These sometimes produce almost unnoticeable inner tensions, perceptible only very slowly, after a period of living with the type.
