Abstract

Typography is the means by which a written idea is given a visual form. Effective use of typography can produce a neutral effect or rouse the passions, symbolise artistic, political or philosophical movements, or express the personality of a person or organization. This book aims to impart a comprehensive understanding of typography, to explore its history, theory and practice.Aimed at both students and practising designers, it provides a thorough examination of how typography informs other aspects of creative design. This revision contains exclusive interviews with LeftLoft (USA), TOKY (USA), Urban Inluence (USA), DesignBolaget (Denmark), Triboro (USA) and Graphical House (Scotland).
