O rule + golden proportion for calculating the gutter in the grid. O rule + golden proportion for calculating the gutter in the grid Wednesday, May 27, 2009 { 12 Comments } What is Gutter in Grid Design? Gutter is the blank space that separates rows and columns in screen. Almost every web site is made of more than one column. The space between those columns is called “the gutter”. So why is the size of the gutter important in web design or design in general? I think that the space between the columns is extremely important and it can contribute for better reading, more elegant design and the harmony between grids (columns). We (me included) almost every time ignore the gutter size. There is practically no (or very little) documentation about this problem on the web or in many typography or grid design books. So I tried to resolve this problem.

First logical thing is that the size of the gutter should be bigger than one blank space of one letter. I often ask myself why the site The Grid System looks so damn good. Attention! I called this rule O-rule. << Home. ADF Fonts. Free fonts. Directory: /tex-archive/fonts/Asana-Math.

Lately I have been very interested in how far we can take Typography only using CSS. Sure you can use images or sIFR to produce some very beautiful typography, but there is something unique and special about using only CSS. It is incredibly useful too, if you know the extent you can take CSS you end up with much more flexible websites— especially ones driven by a CMS. Think about how difficult sIFR or images get when you want to replicate that typography or typeface over 100 pages powered by a CMS. If you can get beautiful type via CSS it makes this situation very easy and with out compromise. There are a lot of great sites out there that have beautiful Typography using only CSS, however simply looking at them is only half of the picture. 1.
