If I softly scan my eyes over the image, I can see thru lines racing between different directions

I mean, I’ve seen novel paperback textbook pages that were obliterated by this stubborn little precipitous line. Is it a symptom of an ugly script? Are they working on eradicating it? Has anybody investigated it has an English man discovered it 150 years ago already?

Would it be autistic to want to design writing so perfect that it wouldn’t have this problem?

Sometimes you can look quite attractive though. Is it left to right?

Why isn’t the script built like a pyramid? With formal thru lines racing evenly out from the center

If you read it left to right should it only have left to right thru lines? Now that’s only the natural logical conclusion. The pyramid scheme would be too jarring because the right to left is what causes the disappointing look

Why even bother coming out like this? It’s raped. It’s already ruined. There is visual AIDS in between your words.

And don’t even get me started on a vertical strip scenario. That we are not ready for.

They are called "rivers" and of course people have developed strategies for preventing them by adjusting type parameters or the copy itself to make them go away.

Strategies for Adjusting Typography to Minimize Rivers

To minimize rivers, designers can try:

-Adjusting the font size or style: Changing the font can help to reduce the occurrence of rivers.

- Modifying the text alignment or justification: Switching from justified to left-aligned text, for example, can help to eliminate rivers.
-Tweaking the hyphenation settings: Adjusting the hyphenation settings can help to reduce the number of spaces between words and minimize river formation.
-Using a different line spacing or leading: Increasing the line spacing can help to reduce the visibility of rivers.

A good way to detect them is to flip thr copy/ text block upside down so that you aren't reading words but just see the density of the copy and any obvious gaps.
