The Anatomy of Type

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Students and professionals in any creative field can benefit from a good typographic eye. The Anatomy of Type is all about looking more closely at letters. Through visual diagrams and practical descriptions, you’ll learn how to distinguish between related typefaces and see how the attributes of letterforms affect the mood, readability, and use of each typeface. Nutritional value aside, the spreads full of big type are nice eye candy, too.

The 100 typefaces featured in the book are hand-picked by the author for their functionality and stylistic relevance in today’s design landscape. Along with several familiar faces , you’ll also discover contemporary fonts that are less common — and often more useful — than the overused classics.
