The lack of a specific and comprehensive guide to type design has long been a frustration for typographers, graphic designers and students. "Designing Type" finally addresses this important need - and brings new depth and insight to the art and process of developing a typeface. Copiously illustrated with type specimens and diagrams demonstrating visual principles and letter construction, the book discusses structure, optical compensation and legibility, with emphasis on the often overlooked systematic relationships between letters and shapes in a font. A wide range of classic and contemporary typefaces are analysed, and examples of student work, progress sketches and final type designs are used to demonstrate core issues. In the light of the rapidly broadening market for original and custom typefaces, "Designing Type" is a valuable reference for both experienced professionals and novice designers.

Seller's Description:
This is an ex-library book and may have the usual library/used-book markings inside. This book has soft covers. In fair condition, suitable as a study copy., 1250grams, ISBN: 9780300111507.
This is a wonderful book for those who, like me, are interested in learning the details of letterform design and history.
It is a beautifully-designed and produced book, and the content is clear, direct, concise, and logically organized.
The attention to detail throughout is at a very high level, and it provides a great example of the huge difference that adhering to high standards can make.
Both the depth and breadth of Designing Type have been masterfully managed so the book will be interesting and useful to both novices and knowledgeable readers.
I cannot think of any way in which this book could be improved. Highly recommended.
