Ellen Lupton provides clear and focused guidance on how letters, words, and paragraphs should be aligned, spaced, ordered, and shaped. The book covers all typography essentials, from typefaces and type families, to kerning and tracking, to using a grid. Visual examples show how to be inventive within systems of typographic form, including what the rules are, and how to break them. This revised edition includes forty-eight pages of new content with the latest information on: • style sheets for print and the web • the use of ornaments and captions • lining and non-lining numerals • the use of small caps and enlarged capitals • mixing typefaces • font formats and font licensing Plus, new eye-opening demonstrations of basic typography design with letters, helpful exercises, and dozens of additional illustrations. Thinking with Type is the typography book for everyone: designers, writers, editors, students, and anyone else who works with words. If you love font and lettering books, Ellen Lupton's guide reveals the way typefaces are constructed and how to use them most effectively. Review: Great - Great book Review: Fantastic Introduction - As a newbie to graphics/typography (at least in the sense of having to deal with it in any kind of a professional context), I've found this to be an excellent primer to getting your head in the right place to think about typography and basic layout. It's well written and a lot of the examples are beautifully illustrated, so it serves a double-shift as a prompt if you're stuck for an idea with something you're working on. Essential.

It's well written and a lot of the examples are beautifully illustrated, so it serves a double-shift as a prompt if you're stuck for an idea with something you're working on. Essential.
