I try to typeset title pages and use LARGE and bold for this. The problem is that the lines seem to be too close to each other. I think it looks bad. Is this the way it is supposed to be? Is there a better way to do this?
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\LARGE\bf An \textit{a priori} Typology of Sentential Negation from an HPSG Perspective}\\[\baselineskip]
\end{center}
\end{document}
Edit: OK what I really wanted isa title page like the stuff below. I wanted to have space between the lines. This was the reason for baselineskip. And the whole reason for messing around with the font sizes are the descriptions by google scholar that tell pdf producers to use fonts in different sizes for title and author and rest.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,fleqn,draft]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\LARGE\bf An \textit{a priori} Typology of Sentential Negation from\\[1mm] an HPSG Perspective}\\[\baselineskip]

\par
whenever you're in a group that has localized font formatting, and adding whitespace to simulate\par
. Adding\bigskip
or\medskip
of\vspace*{3\bigskipamount}
are just other ways of increasing the whitespace between document elements. – Werner Oct 16 '12 at 21:14
