Getting to grips with the fonts and typefaces is an essential path to successful design, whether your work is online, in print or just for fun.

This fantastic new book runs through the classes of type, with examples of individual fonts, extensive case studies, and shows you how to create the best designs, every time. Perfect for traditional and digital use.
