The second edition of Typography is fully updated with more information on using type on screen and interviews with international design practices including TOKY, Urban Influence, Triboro Design, Designbolaget, Leftloft, and Graphical House. There is also a new brief of history of typography as well as exercises to help reinforce the principles of using type. Packed with examples from students and professionals and fully illustrated with clear diagrams and inspiring imagery, the book offers an essential exploration of the subject.
