If you want to really annoy your tutors or anyone who appriciates typography, or just anyone, you have to use really, really, really, really, long sentances with a very high character count on each line but make them extremely different lengths just for fun. If you want to really annoy them, you make your sentances similar to each other so that when they scan across the page they can get confused about which line they started on and it will take them about twice as long to read the sentances. Times new roman is one of the default typefaces, especially on Microsoft software so try and use this in your work as its recognisable and everyone loves it.Widows and Orphans are another great piece of typography that you can add to yourtext.
