Description

The Field Guide to Typography explores and explains the myriad typefaces that we see around us in our day-to-day lives, from public transport liveries to computer fonts, from billboard hoardings to road signage. It presents over 125 typefaces - old and new, common and unusual - with photographic references to help ‘font spotters’ identify particular letter forms in the wild.
