DIRECTION OF WRITING/READING


It is true that in Hong Kong, all newspaper have horizontal and vertical paragraphs but people can still read through the newspaper quickly, it does not cause any problem, however, there are no vertical texts appear on the western newspapers such as the “Metro” newspaper, all sentences from the newspaper are horizontal.

In horizontal text, the orientation of individual letters (vertical) is orthogonal to the spatial arrangement (horizontal) of letters within the word. Vertical text can affect either the orientation of individual letters or the orthogonal relationship between letter orientation and word orientation.
