Type and Typography by Phil Baines & Andrew Haslam


I used this book as a reference many times throughout my 2nd year of studying Graphic design. This book shows every aspect of typography, from the history of language and writing systems to the invention of movable type and the evolution of the digital systems of today. I found it great to expand your knowledge of type design and also just for a quick reference to some typefaces and common terminology (i've used the glossary of this a lot!). This book will have a permanent position on my book shelf as i think i will continue to refer to it in the future.
