Good typography isn’t a software program, but a craft. (I guess... ) Your example scared me. My goodness! I saw a worse example from a publishing house that added small caps where they really hardened readability (including also capital letters for headings) and for some strange reason, last lines in some justified paragraphs were centered. Only to name two features. This book was published by a well-known academic press in Spain. They could handle Adobe InDesign, but I’m afraid they had no basic sensibility for typography. I regularly check books at bookstores and the vast majority of them don’t excel in typographic quality (of course, I my opinion). Most of them even fail in what I consider basic typographic rules. It is a pity, but typography is only noticed by everybody when it is awful.
