Erik Spiekermann & E.M.Ginger

Adobe Press Berkeley, California Page ...... 8 Chapter l: Type is everywhere Type exists. It is a fundamental part of our lives. These simple facts are essential to understanding how to communicate more effectively.

24...... Chapter 2 : What is type? Between type's past and its future, our present understanding of type is rooted in who we are and how we communicate. Type is a living entity integrated into society's moods and trends. ' 1 36...... Chapter 3 : Looking at type Training the eye to recognize type begins with familiar elements on the page. Looking at both a typeface's basic shape and its finest details is the first step toward understanding how type works.

Y 58...... Chapter 4 : Type with a purpose Choosing typefaces for a particular purpose need not be more intimidating than planning your wardrobe. Matching an appropriate typeface with the right task is easy.

74...... Chapter S : Type builds character Understanding the tone, or feeling, of text is essential in determining what typeface to use, and how it might be arranged on the page.

96...... Chapter 6 : Types of type Basic characteristics of typefaces, once understood, can eliminate difficulty with typeface identification. Simple distinctions among typefaces are best understood by analogy to human counterparts.

122...... Chapter 7: How it works Legible, readable type depends on a few basic principles: space between individual letters and around words. Choosing the right typeface for the right text also means using the right spacing.

142...... Chapter 8: Putting it to work Considering where type is going to live and work will determine its effectiveness. Simple rules of placement create practical page layouts.

156...... Chapter 9: There is no bad type Type is a basic element of communication. As the means of communicating changes, type evolves in unique and lively ways.
