Font Thinking

Ellen Lupton - a designer, curator, and one of the most well-known American authors writing about design - clearly, concisely, and while being maximally informative discusses how to work with fonts and text, what a letter is, typography, typesetting, and... modular grids, as well as their history and place in modern design. The book contains numerous illustrations, rules, visual examples (including terrible "font crimes"), valuable tips, practical exercises, and fun facts. This is an essential publication for designers and layout artists who are just beginning to familiarize themselves with typography and its amazing possibilities.
