Typesetting
Typesetting is the process of arranging and formatting text in a visually appealing and readable manner, ensuring consistency and professionalism in printed or digital publications. Every author should be concerned about having the right typeset because it enhances the reader’s experience, maintains the integrity of the content, and reflects the quality and credibility of the work.
