Ett måhända kuriöst tecken på denna ambition är att sidorna är försedda med dubbla pagina, så att man också kan se vilken sida i originalen som återges.

2013, Anders Olsson, Konsten att ge ut Gunnar Björlings skrifter, page 10:

A perhaps curious sign of this ambition is that the pages are provided with double page numbers, so that one can also see which page of the original is being reproduced.

1948, Helge Gullberg, Stil- och manuskriptstudier till Gösta Berlings saga, page 9:

According to the numbering, the number of manuscript pages are 76. Since the authoress has forgotten to paginate a page, which was numbered 55½ by another hand, there are in fact 77 pages.

Kampanjen var utformad med en text som var skriven i allt mindre teckengrad vilket anmälaren menade tvingade folk att gå farligt nära perrongkanten för att kunna läsa hela budskapet, […] Nu svarar hamburgarkonkurrenten Max med en liknande kampanj signerad Åkestam Holst [reklambyrå], även den placerad i Stockholms tunnelbana, men med ett budskap som istället blir allt större i teckengrad.

2024 January 17, Hannes Dükler, “Här pikar Max snabbmatsjätten – efter säkerhetsfiaskot [Max takes a jab at fast-food giant after safety failure]”, in Resumé:

The campaign was designed with text written in increasingly smaller body height, which the complainant argued forced people to go dangerously close to the platform edge in order to read the entire message, […] Now, burger competitor Max is responding with a similar campaign created by Åkestam Holst [ad firm], also placed in Stockholm’s subway, but with a message where the body height grows larger instead.
