8. Texture and Copyfit

Texture describes the distribution of text density, rhythm and whitespace. Its panel preview is analytical evidence, not an object inserted into the InDesign page. Density variation may be deliberate: a heading, pull quote or narrow sidebar is not automatically a defect.

Copyfit includes overset stories, short last lines, widows/orphans and unusually tight or loose composition. Inspect the linked story, frame boundary and surrounding paragraphs. A change that improves one paragraph can displace another; review those side effects before applying a candidate.

Coverage matters. Unavailable, omitted or lower-bound counts are not zero findings. Do not compare quality scores from different scopes, settings or module combinations as if they measured the same material. Where the panel cannot establish complete nested-text coverage, it withholds an overall score rather than certifying unchecked structures.
