JUSTIFIED TYPE/TEXT
ˈjəs-tə-ˌfīd ˈtīp/ˈtekst, n
A term commonly used to describe succes-
sive lines of type that begin at points along
one common imaginary reference line and
end at points along another. Technically, all
lines of type are justifi ed, meaning that each
line is fi lled across the entire length of its
measure with a combination of characters
and spaces; the difference lies in where the
spaces are placed. Nevertheless, justifi ed
type has become ubiquitous for referring
to cases in which all spaces are located
between words, pushing the type out to both
ends of the measure. This kind of justifi cation,
especially across a short measure, can some-
times lead to distracting gaps, called rivers,
that “fl ow through” a block of type. See also
alignment and H&J.

ITALIC
ə-ˈta-lik, i-, ī-, n
A typeface that is inclined to the right, fre-
quently used for emphasis within a passage
of text. Italic type was fi rst developed in Italy
around 1500 as a means to fi t more type onto
a single page, thereby reducing the size of
printed books. True italics are sets of letter-
forms distinct from the typeface upon which
they are based. Oblique type also slants to
the right, but its letterforms remain largely un-
changed from those of the “regular” typeface
upon which it is based.

INTERACTION DESIGN
ˌin-tər-ˈak-shən di-ˈzīn, n
The practice of describing, defi ning, and
creating the elements of a product, a system,
or an organization with which a person might
interact. The most common examples gener-
ally involve complex technological inter-
faces, such as those used for websites and
portable electronic devices, although even
simple interactions require thoughtful design
consideration. The handle of a coffee cup, for
example, is often designed for easy, intuitive
use, although this is not always the case.
Interaction designers are frequently involved
in various forms of user research, applying
methodologies from other disciplines, such
as cognitive psychology and anthropology,
among others.
