Sometimes I think the biggest argument against justification is that a hyphen makes the right edge look jagged -- unless you draw it outside the margin, like Johannes did. Even InDesign's option only approaches solving the problem. If you're going to justify text, the text should be justified, and the punctuation should *hang*, not partly hang. Else why bother.

Just saw "Being John Malkovich". The titles were great: some old Garamondish all-caps italic. Very blobby. They faded the type in, as if it were being pressed into paper, going from narrow to blobby.
It's rather a treat to see italicized caps with good letter-spacing.
Apparently they were done by Andy Jenkins and Pacific Title.
