Designing Type (edit title)

• Rated 0 stars

“This is my favorite among recent books on Type. The focus on designing type makes it a little unusual and the organization of the book by letter is a refreshing change from the average book which is origanized by type face and/or historical period. This is organized more like an art school course on designing type. It is extremely well done and I do not care how many books you have read on type, I think you will find new perspectives in this book.”

• Rated 5 stars

“For either those that have been loving typography for many years, or those that just recently have fallen infatuated. This exhaustive documentation of type-crafting minutiae is a MUST-have for reference and obsessive appreciation of classic forms and details.

Karen's careful eye will help you dissect all the classics... Perhaps even discover missed aspects of a much-visited serif, perhaps finally understanding the commonality of a specific "m" proportion, perhaps understand the evolution of "g"...

Many hours of delight await for you within its pages. Get it.”
