About the book
Type designer Erik Spiekermann explains in plain, everyday terms what type is, how to look at it, and how to choose and use typefaces so that text is more legible, carries its meaning better and gives aesthetic pleasure. The compact handbook leans on anecdotes and hundreds of illustrations, and its layered page design invites browsing as well as straight reading. Successive editions added web and screen typography and new typefaces used throughout, and early editions were written with E. M. Ginger. Translated into Korean, German, Russian and Portuguese among other languages, it has long been one of the best-selling introductions to designing with type, used by design students and type enthusiasts alike.
Seth Godin said it changed how he sees design, noting that good design costs no more than bad design yet cuts through clutter.

This book helped me see design differently. Good design costs just as much as bad design, but it breaks through all sorts of clutter.
