Lets compare it to, say, personal style and looks. Very elegant people are often dressed and groomed in a way so you notice them, not what they wear or their hairstyle, just that you are meeting an attractive person.

If we step back to typography, then I would say that the best of it, the most elegant, is that which disappears and helps and support the reading process. I.e. become invisible - while still making a great difference.

Beppe, I think you would appreciate this; the very best make-up that makes women beautiful is invisible to the viewer. He sees only her. Or the reader sees the story.
You touch my heart, with that cute umbrella. I concede. With a smile and curtsy.

By the way that book, that is a pleasure to read as it is so well printed, so that evry word can be savoured, coming from The Archibishp of Upsalla, deals with something that you might be interested. in.
