Type Matters!
Once upon a time, only typesetters needed to know about kerning, leading, ligatures, and hanging punctuation. But what does all the confusing terminology about ink traps, letter spacing, and visual centring mean, and what are the rules for good typography? Today, however, most of us work on computers, with access to hundreds of fonts, and we d all like our letters, reports and other documents to look as good and as readable as possible.
The book is arranged into three chapters: an introduction to the basics of typography; headline and display type; and setting text. Type Matters is a book of tips for everyday use, for all users of typography, from students and professionals to anyone who does any layout design on a computer. Within each chapter there are sections devoted to particular principles or problems, such as selecting the right typeface, leading, and the treatment of numbers.
