A reading-tempo manifesto
SLOWER
You are reading this faster than you think. Cadence keeps a pace you can feel in the letters.
Scroll quickly and watch the word lose its footing
The sentence that feels your speed
When the words are heavy you slow to carry them; race the line and it thins to a whisper and leans away, so a page can only be read at the tempo it was set.
Three things a letter knows
Weight is time. A heavy letter asks you to wait for it.
Speed is loss. Rush the line and it leans out of your reach.
Tempo is meaning. How fast you read is part of what you read.
Set the tempo yourself
Read me slowly and I am here, upright and sure.
