Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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.

You haven’t read it, so I doubt you’d know if it was cliché.

Also, I work on a PC that I built. :)

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