The development of digital technology has provided even the non-specialist user a unique involvement in typography. But the effective use of type continues to depend upon both technical expertise and historical knowledge, an understanding of the functional and aesthetic qualities of different typefaces, and the organization of typographic space - and that is where this book proves itself indispensable. Designed to provide an introductory grounding in the subject, it offers a practical understanding of type itself, and of the processes by which designers apply type across a range of different contexts and media.
