Here’s more:
- Thinking with Type, by Ellen Lupton: Everything you ever wanted to know about type and using it to communicate a message.
- Mixing Typefaces: Combining typefaces can be hard. This helps.
- Kerning is the horizontal adjustment of space between letters to improve appearance and readability. Well designed logos and headlines are always carefully kerned and I use this 3-letter method.
- The font game: a fun way to learn typeface.
