Still very much, and nowadays maybe more than ever, relevant book about typography.
A delight for the eyes, light on text and heavy on typographical examples.

(+) The featured designs in the volume were extraordinarily well crafted, and the variation exercises are worth studying for any level or kind of designer.
(-) For one of the consummate books on design, you'd think the type itself would be legible; while I appreciate the struggle in fitting three translations in one page and arranging it artfully around captions, the overall readability greatly suffered due to straining to read the small typeface.

Сложная практическая литература для тех, кто уже в теме. Пока не совсем понимаю что к чему, потому сложно воспринимать было. Хотя насмотренность хорошая
The book teaches about typography related techniques with theories , diagrams , philosophy and practical examples. Some things are outdated which can't be avoided as it has been over 50 years since this book was first published , it is still quite helpful for anyone studying typography.
The book has changed my views about typography in various ways and i totally agree with the author's statements like "Typography has one plain duty before it and that is to convey information in writing. No argume ...more

Very different from the way I think about type and what makes good design. I appreciated the singular expression of the author's vision and the many supporting examples. The best part of this was the very clear illustration of how Ruder is genuinely engaging with expression and communication at an abstracted level—questioning everything.

Несколько дней назад дочитала "Типографику" Рудера. Хорошая книга, очень так про композицию здорово. А еще понравилось:
"Мышление в контрастных категориях - не путаное мышление, поскольку противоположности могут смириться в гармоничном целом." ...more

I got this book as a layman who knows little about typography and I learned a lot, but it isn’t very straightforward and introduces some lofty concepts that aren’t clearly explained. But a good foundational introduction to graphic design elements.
This is a must book for a graphic designer especially if you focusing on Typography.
Книга имеет интересный формат и больше напоминает какие-то открытки с небольшими комментариями. Это очень удобно для быстрого освоения материала, но в связи с большим количеством примеров, потребуется больше времени, чтобы это всё устаканилось в голове.
Эта книга мне понравилась больше, чем "Новая типографика", но наличие авторских примеров сводит оформление к несколько условному виду. С одной стороны, Рудер подготовил все примеры специально для книги (сам или его ученики), но с другой стороны хо ...more

WOW!, a great local designer mentioned Emil Ruder as his favourite designer/typographer on a small conversation we had. The name remained on my mind and a couple of days later I found information about Ruder on a Design's History website (Design is History - Emil Ruder).
I've understood how type works thanks to some books on the subject, but I've been never been exposed to such a clear and deep discourse on proportions, contrast, typographical shades, colour, rhythm and some more related techniqu ...more

I enjoyed reading this alongside "The Elements of Typographic Style" (Bringhurst). I found the visuals to help and the diagrams particularly intuitive for someone to see the relation to typography to the larger layout/construction of the world.

“Typography has one plain duty before it and that is to convey information in writing. No argument or consideration can absolve typography from this duty. A printed work which cannot be read becomes a product without purpose.”
