A visual treat for anyone who loves fonts and typographic
design.
The Anatomy of Type explores one hundred traditional and modern
typefaces in loving detail, with a full spread devoted to each
entry. The full character set from each typeface is shown, and the
best letters for identification are enlarged and annotated,
revealing key features, anatomical details, and the finer,
often-overlooked elements of type design. Containing in-depth
information on everything from the designer and foundry, the year
of release, and the different weights and styles available, The
Anatomy of Type is more than a reference guide to the intricacies
of typeface design. It is a visual send-up of some of the world's
most beloved typefaces, whimsically displayed in vibrant color.
