And, now I'm curious to know what should be used for the one with too much space between the words? (Spacious?) Last edited by a moderator: Oct 12, 2016

Click to expand... NOT A TEACHER Hello, Mehrgan: I did some googling and found one Clifford Howard, who apparently coined (made up) his own term: diffuse writing. He defines it as "ample space between words and between lines." He also uses the adjective "crowded" instead of "cramped." When you have time, please google the following: Diffuse writing (Plates 2, 7, 16). (I think that Mr. Howard's article may interest you.)
