The Philosphy Of Typography • Designed By Erika Kunde
This book is about how type should look and how to make it look that way. It primarily covers type in print, which is where the art of typography reaches its highest form of expression. But people who read on computers, e-book readers, or any other electronic device need all the typographic help they can get, so setting type for screen display also gets its due. Beautiful type comes from attention to myriad tiny details. It’s built up a fraction of an em at a time, through hundreds of decisions whose geometry belies their gravity. It requires, as a colleague once wrote, a heart hardened against accusations of being too fussy.
