TYPE MATTERS

So I've just finished reading this book called Type Matters by Jim Williams. I must admit it was a very interesting read if you enjoy typography.

The book has a lovely leather finish with the main title stamped into the front in a block serif typeface. As soon as I walked into the shop where I bought the book it instantly jumped off the shelf and said 'Buy me! Buy me!'.

It covers the principals of Serif and Sans Serif fonts and how and where they both came from. It also includes information on Ligatures, Ascenders, Descenders, Kerning etc.

The book is for all typographers and covers the general principals of how typography should be used in the most effective ways for its purpose. Whether you're a student or a well experience Graphic Designer the book will have something in that you didn't know about before picking it up and turning the pages.

The inners are printed on a nice uncoated stock with a nice weight paper, you can really feel the quality and care that has gone into the production of the book while you're reading through it.

TYPE MATTERS!

If you're even remotely interested in Typography or Graphic Design I would highly recommend picking up a copy of this book, it's a great book to have in your arsenal as a designer.

Any feedback on the content I will be posting would be highly appreciated as I am new to blogging.
