IMO one of the really cool effects of the internet is how much exploration there is of ways style, punctuation, and typographic choices can convey nuances of tone and mood that are not possible using a traditional style guide. Remembering especially that the real language is the spoken one and writing is just a set of conventions. This sort of thing gets us closer to the range of expressive choice we have when speaking. It can definitely have a cost of readability if you're not familiar with it but this one is very well done and clear. The author makes really good typographic decisions in the paragraph breaks and section headings that provide plenty of structure and keep it from being disorienting. So idk I am generally joyfully curious about this style and think this is a solid example of doing it in a way that enhances expression without sacrificing clarity. |
