The Designer's Dictionary of Type follows in the footsteps of The
Designer's Dictionary of Color, providing a vivid and highly accessible
look at an even more important graphic design ingredient: typography.
From classic fonts like Garamond and Helvetica, to modern-day digital
fonts like OCR-A and Keedy Sans, author and designer Sean Adams
demystifies 48 major typefaces, describing their history, stylistic
traits, and common application. Adams once again provides eye-catching
illustrated examples, this time showcasing the beauty and expressiveness
of typography, as employed by the world's greatest designers. Organized
by serif, sans-serif, script, display, and digital typefaces, this book
will be a vital guide for designers, teachers, or students looking to
gain a foundational understanding of the art, practice, and history of
typography.
