The final choice of the way in which syllables are to be optically split should be left to the expert, however. The ''typeface which is readable from all sides'' is well suited for town and country maps etc., as in such aids to orientation, it is advantageous for the designations to be readable from all sides, e.g. in the allocated position of use. It is well suited inter alia for designating north-south streets on towns, as then all street designations can be read from the lower edge of the plan, and from all other sides as well. In route network plans, vertical typeface having the ... Original abstract incomplete.
