    as for turning the typography upside-down, thats fine for visual relationships, but it does nothing for kerning in respect to legibility. We can look at letters any way we want, but we *read* the space between letters, and when those spaces are inverted they don't read properly and thus can't be adjusted in this respect.

    I do agree that its usefull to look at typography upside down to get a sense of balance in form, though only in this respect and not in terms of legibility.
