The Arrangement of Name Inscriptions on Geographic Maps (Germany) (Translation).

Abstract

The legibility of geographic names is determined not only by the choice of the script style and the size, slant and thickness of the script used, but is to a considerable extent made easier or more difficult also by the position of the name with respect to the object it describes, whenever the particular place name is printed in a careless fashion and in violation of the law of inscription arrangement.
