Reversing type, that is setting it light on a dark ground, is best restricted to

  • A.names of physical features only
  • B.larger sizes and heavier weights
  • C.the smallest sizes on the sheet
  • D.italic faces of any size

Answer: B

Correct answer: larger sizes and heavier weights

Reversed type loses the fine strokes to ink spread on press, so a small or light face becomes illegible or fills in altogether. Restricting the technique to larger sizes and heavier weights keeps the counters open, and it is why reversed type is used for headings rather than for detail.
