Typographical Rivers

Within literature a Typographical River is the spaces within paragraphs that work together to create a sort of visual fluidity from one line of text. I think of it as like visual rhythm that carries the eye through a work helping to keep the viewer wanting to continue reading. I never paid too much attention to it before, When I was younger I had an english teacher that taught us that good writers have a snake going up and down the ends of each of their paragraphs. Something about the snake symbolizing the variety of words that one is using to convey the story. I wonder if I can translate this literature tool in to a visual form within a video. I guess its just one more thing to consider.

above the typographical river is illustrated at the top of the word amet
