There are tells in almost every sentence but some flagrant ones: “where every technique below makes its trade”, “every size you want crisp is another atlas”, “a bitmap has no idea it is being viewed in perspective”, “the fix that carried the industry for a decade”, “it lies about corners”, “built for artwork that moves”, “what separates them is technique, not resolution”, “text is where Slug earned its name”.
These are Claudisms, cloying mannered prose cliches that often anthropomorphize concepts, with an uncanny and annoying smugness.
