Also implicated are bittern (very different from bitter!), authorial, hawthorn, and baboon

It’s hard to see anything but a smaller field in that world. Teaching can come from other sources—taking the university model as given, there’s less reason for other departments not to insource—so we’re left mostly with research that can be funded directly

Roughly, you should let syllables vary in the dimension of writing and reduce variation in the transverse dimension. You may have to stretch or compress individual letters to make the whole syllable more consistent

If you imagine a box around a syllable, then give every syllable a constant amount of room for that box, you’ll get writing that looks very bad. Negative space especially will build up
