Synopsis

Choices of typeface, layout, color, and other traditional elements of typography should be completely different for computer screens than for paper. Eleven contributions look at a variety of issues raised by this observation, discussing the design of Web sites, the use of non-Latin typographies, changes in work practices of the lettering arts, the design of letterforms, and the role of design in educational software.

Review:

"Praise for Computers and Typography Vol. 1:...Make no mistake - a genuine revolution is taking place. The voices recorded in this volume are its protagonists and witnesses.' - Douglas Williamson, Logos 'There is so little available [literature] that deals with type design...in conjunction with computers. Sassoon's book is one answer to this.' - R. Johnson, Writing & Computers 'An exceptionally wide range of articles discussing the impact of computers on typography. I recommend it to all who want an accessible introduction to the issues involved.' - Ewan Clayton, The Scribe"
