(Preface) 'While there are many typography books on the market, few of them can boast all the features of this exceptionally useful workbook. It includes 75 widely used type faces shown in complete fonts, with companion lower cases, as well as these valuable features:
- An additional 16 type faces-traditional and modern favourites in advertising typography.
- Letters are printed jumbo size to reveal the fine nuances that make each type face unique.
- A written description accompanies each type face, giving practical applications of the alphabet and a detailed analysis of its character.
- A range of graduated point sizes of each type face is shown superimposed on a self-measuring pica form. This serves as a comparison scale for relating the point size of the type face to the measure or width of the alphabet.
- A "Directory of Standard Type Faces" catalogs specimens of more than 900 type faces in use today, providing a handy dictionary of fonts for easy reference.
- Basic information on typography is presented in an informal question-and-answer format.
