Description
This comprehensive guide to type design is hailed as a must-have for typographers, graphic designers, and students. It has been fully refreshed and updated with the introduction of more contemporary typefaces, more explanatory diagrams, and a closer connection between text and corresponding images.
The new edition of Designing Type also features more in-depth discussion of the processes behind developing typefaces, along with the basic issues that need to be taken into consideration such as visual principles and letter construction, optical compensation and legibility, and the relationships between letters and shapes in a font.
This is a valuable reference for both experienced professionals and novice designers.
