Typography is apart of every designers life. We use type in artwork, websites, write ups, articles, basically simple speech. Steven Acres took it a step further and brought out a little book called, “The Philosophy of Typography.” In this article I will showcase the books design and layout that Steven Acres designed. Check it out.
The Philosophy of Typography
A sixty-page book covering the philosophical & semiotic aspects of typography, with content based on lectures by a SCAD professor & Robert Bringhurst’s “The Elements of Typographic Style.”

Load of cliché rubbish! i bet it was typeset (badly) on a Mac to boot…
YAWN!
You haven’t read it, so I doubt you’d know if it was cliché.
Also, I work on a PC that I built. :)
That book looks awesome. Def need to pick that one up!

Not saying this is a good or bad, but I was misled by the title of this and am disappointed as a result :(

Did you find the book helpful? I have had a few typography books I have looked through, but have not been overly impressed with any of them yet.
