Lettering & Type is a smart-but-not-dense guide to creating and bending letters to one's will. More than just another pretty survey, Lettering & Type is a powerful and essential how-to book full of relevant theory, history, explanatory diagrams, exercises, and hundreds of inspiring insights and examples from contemporary practitioners of lettering and typeface design.
"A smart, sexy, readable guide to type design and lettering. This is no ordinary type book. It's a blast of brain candy that will make your serifs stand on end." -- ELLEN LUPTON
