What are curly/smart quotes?

Updated over 4 months ago

The two main types of quotation marks:

  • Curly quotes are often referred to as smart quotes because they curve toward the text you’re quoting. They’re often more stylized than a straight quote, but the styling of a curly quote can vary depending on the font used.

  • Straight quotes are straight, vertical marks without any indication of which word or phrase it’s surrounding.
