About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1978, Typography: Design and Practice is now established as a landmark introduction to working with text. Although writing at the dawn of computerized typesetting, Lewis's basic principles and design advice still stand strong. This remastered edition provides both an overview of the history of typeface design and an easy-to-understand grounding in the practice of choosing fonts and laying out of text. Essential reading for graphic designers, typographers and anyone with an interest in the printed page.
