Theory of Type Design

by

A comprehensive theory of typeface design by internationally renowned type designer Gerard Unger. Consisting of 24 concise chapters, this volume clearly traces the different aspects of type design—from the influence of language to today's digital developments, from how our eyes and brain process letterforms to their power of expression. More than 200 illustrations and practical examples illuminate the theoretical material. Terminology is succinctly explained in an extensive glossary.
