false 44735 7 This lovely, well-written book is concerned foremost with creating beautiful typography and is essential for professionals who regularly work with typographic designs. Author Robert Bringhurst writes about designing with the correct typeface; striving for rhythm, proportion, and harmony; choosing and combining type; designing pages; using section heads, subheads, footnotes, and tables; applying kerning and other type adjustments to improve legibility; and adding special characters, including punctuation and diacritical marks. <I>The Elements of Typographic Style</I> teaches the history of and the artistic and practical perspectives on a variety of type families that are available in Europe and America today.<P> The last section of the book classifies and displays many type families, offers a glossary of typography terms, and lists type designers and type foundries. The book briefly mentions digital typography, but otherwise ignores it, focusing instead on general typography and page- and type-design issues. Its examples include text in a variety of languages--including English, Russian, German, and Greek--which is particularly helpful if your work has a multinational focus. 671857 1992 The Elements of Typographic Style total:459|5:304|4:119|3:28|2:5|1:3| 459 2093 808 74 0 8 false false Wed Aug 27 12:57:24 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 16:33:42 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:57:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 5 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Oct 21 16:43:33 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 24 13:26:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 07 00:00:29 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 00:24:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Sun Sep 27 15:42:13 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 15:45:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 06 09:04:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 09:57:55 -0800 2009
