Fiction Story... Font Changes?

Question

In this fiction story, on this page the text and font changes. Why does it change? And what is it called?

Answer 1

Some authors do that ... just for emphasis. You see it a lot when suddenly a sentence will be larger and italicized or in script. It is just at the author's discretion to pick a sentence out from the rest of the text. Sometimes they play games - like if you put all those sentences together you get a message of some kind. Personally, I don't like it at all. I just want to read a book - not play guessing games with an author. I italicize the side of telephone conversations of the person who is not in the room and thoughts. That is it. Pax - C

Answer 2

It would be called an attention getting device, a point of view change, and internal thought, or any one of several other things depending upon the context. Unusual to find any change other than italics or bold vs. standard.

If it changes for no apparent reason it would be properly called a mistake. Publishers, editors, and printers don't like font changes unless accompanied with a good reason. It is probably a mistake.
