▼a This book goes a long way towards meeting its goal. It describes the major structural families of Roman letter forms, based on stroke weights and emphasis, style of serifs (if any), and historical origin. There are plenty of visual examples for most of the text, critical for training the eye. This brief book is certainly a good start.This revised and expanded edition features a history of typesetting, a system for identifying typefaces, and glossaries of typographical, typesetting, and computer terms |
