Synopsis
When Stanley Morison wrote in First Principles of Typography that “Typography does not so much need Inspiration or Revival as Investigation.” he may well have had Geoffrey Dowding in mind. Few people investigate, dissect and care about type with the passion and intensity of Dowding. He probes into every aspect & use of type and space, from word and letter arrangement to the design of type itself. He’s readable, absorbing and provocative; no matter how you feel about Geoffrey Dowding’s opinions, you will never approach design in quite the same way after having read Finer Points in the Spacing and Arrangement of Type . If you care about design and the printed word, then you care about what Geoffrey Dowding has to say.During his long typographic career, Geoffrey Dowding was typographer to a number of British publishers and agencies. He also served as an instructor in typographic design at the London College of Printing for over twenty years.
