NEVER underline text
January 26, 2010
NEVER underline text when setting type.
It’s just not done by professional designers. It came about when the typewriter burst on the scene more than a hundred years ago as the only way to emphasize text.
For hundreds of years of typesetting, underlining was never used by professional typesetters. Today is no different.
With current digital type, this is not needed and looks amateurish when used. Instead, try using boldface or italics.
