Thinking with Type By Ellen Lupton

I checked out and read Thinking with Type By Ellen Lupton over the holidays. It is FULL of great information regarding type, how to use it, but there is even a bit of history on type.

I really liked this passage, which was taken from the book: 

" Many books define the purpose of typography as enhancing the readability of the written word, one of designer's most humane functions is in actuality, to help the readers AVOID reading".

There are also different projects one can work on to help them designing type. I worked a few and found them quite helpful.
