Q: What’s the correct spacing for dates like "c. 1748" in English?
Submitted by Der Gunnar on 19 August 2014 - 4:04amHi everyone!
My question: What’s the correct spacing for dates like "c. 1748" in English typography?
I’m talking about British English, Akzidenz Grotesk font, InDesign, and "c" is italicized. The editor suggests no spacing at all, which looks odd to me (but I’m German, so what do I know) and gives me trouble with the large amount of space around Akzidenz Grotesk’s figure "1" (that is, "c.1077" and "c.908" look wildly different in spacing when set without any space at all).
Thanks for letting me know about your take on this.
