English: This image shows a paragraph from The Red Badge of Courage (Stephen Crane, 1895). The text is out of copyright and freely available from the Gutenberg project.
The top image shows the paragraph with no kerning, ligatures, hyphenation or microtypography.
The middle image shows kerning (visible for example, in To), ligatures (fi) and hyphenation, but no expansion or protusion.
The bottom paragraph shows what the paragraph looks like with expansion and protusion. The hyphens protude slightly into the right margin. Some glyphs are expanded to make the spacing between words more even, but the expansion is too small to be readily visible at the level of individual words.
