Book description
Foreword by ELLEN LUPTON
Typography is your design’s voice and the most powerful tool
you have to communicate with your readers. Learn how to wield type
with care and wit: how to evaluate typefaces, consider technical
constraints, create flexible typographic systems, and put together
your own collection of favorite faces.
Jason Santa Maria wants you to see type beyond code or flourishes.
You’ll discover how typography shapes the way we read and how
you can adapt the craft’s practices for the screen. So go
ahead. Choose, combine, and set typefaces with ease–and
invite readers in.
