Pull quote

Pull quote

A pull quote (also known as a lift-out quote or a call-out) is a quotation or edited from an article that is placed in a larger typeface on the same page, serving to lead readers into an article and to highlight a key topic. The term is principally used in journalism and publishing. Some publications choose not to align the pull quote with the columns on a page; in that case, it cuts into two or more columns to reduce the linearity of a page. Placement of a pull quote on a page is usually defined in a publication's own style manual.

More recently, pull quotes have been finding a place in various World Wide Web articles and discourses to help keep the attention of Internet readers.
