Containing in-depth information on everything from the designer and foundry, the year of release, and the different weights and styles available, The Anatomy of Type is more than a reference guide to the intricacies of typeface design. It is a visual send-up of some of the world’s most beloved typefaces, beautifully displayed in vibrant color. — ASIN: 0062203126 | ISBN13: 9780062203120 | ISBN-13: 978-0062203120
