Typography Book Club
Join us at our biweekly Typography Book Club hosted by Noon (@moniqueisneat)! We meet Saturdays 10 am PT. Have you ever wondered what's the best font to use for the project? Anatomy of a Typeface By Alexander Lawson will help give you an insight into the typefaces that are important to today's typographers, and why.
Typography is so much more than just choosing a beautiful font, it's selecting the right font. Good typography will establish a successful visual hierarchy, provide a graphic balance, and set the product’s overall tone. Good typography will seduce your audience and ill-informed type choices will repulse them.
We invite you to join us in beginning the first of the three legendary type books that will help you become a type master:
Anatomy of a Typeface By Alexander Lawson
Letters of Credit: A View of Type Design by Walter Tracy
The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst See you then, Buddies!
