Practical Typography
Author:
Matthew Butterick
This book is about making you a better typographer. And if you’re wondering “what’s in it for me?”, you’re in the right place.
That’s one thing we mere designers can learn from a designer who is also a lawyer, like Matthew: if your argument is easy to follow, it will be a winning one.
How this book is organized
This book is based on three core principles:
- Good typography is part of good writing.
- As a professional writer, you should hold your documents to the same standards as professionally published material. Why? Because your documents are professionally published material. Moreover, there’s no technical barrier to achieving the same results.
