Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
“Thinking with type” is a great book that provides a solid foundation of various aspects of typography and it’s application. It’s oriented less as a guide, and more of a summary of design decisions, their history, and their stylistic impact. Through the lens of reference designs, it also provides interesting examples of each aspect.
It doesn’t assume any significant prior knowledge on typography, but I do suggest you approach with the mindset that typographical designs can have major but subtle impacts. Overall, a very interesting read!
