Plateau Five leaves its guiding principle behind for letters like the f, r or t, to account for readability and the preservation of a text face. For comparison, letters of optically equal width3 in Plateau Five, figure 1, are shown next to letters of classical text typefaces from the renaissance to today, like the Garamond, figure 2.

Although patterning, i. e. defining grids for letters, might have been around since textura type to provide a less laborious production process of letterpunches, the aspect of construction grew in the 18th century with the commission of a typeface by French royalty and rose to prominence between the two world wars with ideas by a. o.

A geometric construction is juxtaposed with classical proportions, letterforms from serif typefaces and details that seem to be shaped by a wedge.
