Central & Southeast European Typography Profiles
A comparison hub for the conservative SK, HU, RO, HR, and SI profiles, which extend useful date, number, currency, and consistency checks without claiming complete national style coverage.
This page is written in English. The locale codes describe the text being typeset and the convention Avellio applies; they do not indicate the language of this web page.
At a glance
Quotation marks
Quote expectations are conservative and must be checked against the publication’s national style guide.
Punctuation spacing
Avellio reports targeted consistency evidence rather than general language correctness.
Non-breaking spaces
Recognized number–unit and currency relationships use locale-aware spacing evidence.
Dates
SK, RO, HR, and SI use dot/ISO-oriented models; HU uses year–month–day.
Numbers
Space grouping and decimal comma are expected.
Currency
EUR/€, HUF/Ft, RON/lei and national context are mapped by profile.
Units
Recognized units use protected spacing subject to context guards.
Regional variants
SK is derived conservatively from the Czech base but excludes the Czech one-letter-word rule.
SKHUROHRSIHouse-style caveat
These profiles are useful QA layers, not comprehensive encodings of every national typography manual.
How to use this with Avellio
- Assign accurate InDesign paragraph languages before relying on AUTO.
- Use an explicit profile when one regional convention governs the complete scope.
- Run a new Typography Audit after changing locale.
- Read locale source, specificity, confidence, and context together.
- Correct ambiguous dates, numbers, currencies, and complete quote pairs manually.
