After a crash course in type terminology, you’re encouraged to walk the talk with lessons and exercises on creating type-based logos, crafting personal emblems, choosing and using the right fonts for layouts, designing your own fonts, fine-tuning text like a professional, hand lettering, and more. Krause uses practical advice, humor, and page after page of visual examples to give you a complete education in designing with type that you can read in a matter of hours and continue to learn from over the course of your career.

Identify and discuss fonts like a design professional
Choose and combine fonts effectively for use in your projects and layouts
Create monograms and logos using existing typefaces and custom-built letterforms
Modify fonts to meet your design’s specific needs
Space letters properly using tracking, kerning, and leading and create eye-pleasing layouts
