I’m not sure on how to search for this – as I’ve tried and not gotten anywhere – so thought it’d be easiest to ask and see if anyone might know offhand.
Say you have a typical book sitting on a bookshelf. The title of the book is on the spine, written on a 90 degree angle, and reads from left to right, which is also up to down.
Is there a word that can be used to describe this particular orientation, whether it be writing specific or otherwise? “Vertical” by itself wouldn’t cut it, as text that is not at a 90 degree angle can still be read top ot bottom that way.
I’d prefer one word, if such a beast exists, but otherwise as short and as simple of a phrase as one can get. “Sideways” might suffice, but I was hoping there might be something more specific, and ideally something referring to the writing or letter forms.
Thanks in advance.
