The Ten Commandments of Typography By Paul Felton

A quick read to get the brain going!

 

There are basic 'rules' in typography for ease of view and aesthetics, but through the years type has been designed in so many ways that the rules are always being broken so to speak.

This book is a split book, one half of the book has ten basic 'commandments' in typography. The other half of the book is "type Hersey' about breaking the 'commandments of typography'.

This book is informative as well as very humorous. It gives you the basic ways in which type can be easily read and used, then it takes a spin and shows ways that the 'rules' can be broken in type to be more interesting and aesthetically appealing.
