The Geometry of Type

　　 The Geometry of Type   explores 100 traditional and modern typefaces in detail, with  a full spread devoted to each entry. Characters from each typeface are enlarged and  annotated to reveal key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked  elements of type design, which shows how these attributes affect mood and readability.  Sidebar information lists the designer and foundry, the year of release and the different  weights and styles available, while feature boxes explain the origins and best uses for  each typeface, such as whether it is suitable for running text or as a display font for  headlines. To help the reader spot each typeface in the wider world, the full character  set is shown, and the best letters for identification are highlighted. This beautiful and  highly practical work of reference for font spotters, designers and users is a close-up  celebration of typefaces and great type design.
