Product Description
The book is part of Rockport's popular Workbook series of practical and inspirational workbooks that cover all the fundamental areas of the graphic design business. This book presents an abundance of information on type - the cornerstone of graphic design - succinctly and to the point, so that designers can get the information they need quickly and easily.
Whereas many other books on type are either very technical or showcase oriented, this book offers ideas and inspiration through hundreds of real-life projects showing successful, well-crafted usage of type. The book also offers a variety of other content, including choosing fonts, sizes, and colors; incorporating text and illustrations; avoiding common mistakes in text usage; and teaching rules by which to live (and work) by.

Customer Reviews
Amazing book on type! Extremely in-depth.
Extremely well written book, with easy to understand illustrations of all the concepts, plus tons of examples, this may be one of the best books on the market on typography.
The details are plenty and explained properly, but without making it hard to read.
It's also beautifully laid out, with examples of really good typography in the chapter titles and body text.
If you want a book for typography, this is the one, beginners and die-hards together.
Great Buy
This is a great book for anyone interested in how to use typography within a graphic design framework.
