Book

Using her lively style,
Robin Williams takes desktop
publishers on a tour of the
principles governing type. Along
the way she explains the logic
behind the principles so you can
understand what looks best and why

If you need to make your documents
look clean and professional, but don't
quite know how, you need this book.
Hundreds of examples illustrate the subtle
details that make the difference between
amateur and sophisticated use of type.

It doesn't matter what kind of computer
you use or what software you use—Robin
integrates both Macintosh and Windows
typographic information in this book,
which makes it a must-have for anyone's
book shelf—from type novices to
experienced graphic designers and
typesetters.

Each chapter covers a different aspect
of good typography, including:

♦ Readability and legibility

♦ Punctuation marks and style

♦ Special characters

♦ Expert font sets

♦ Multiple Master fonts

♦ Swash characters, initial caps,
and ornaments

♦ Letter spacing, line spacing,
and paragraph spacing

♦ Choosing a typeface

♦ And much more!
