A reprint of David Kindersley's original work from the 1960s, showing his workings for a new typesetting system that automatically finds the correct spacing between letters.
This reprint of the original book tells how David Kindersley started his work on spacing in the 1950s. It shows how he worked towards a system that automatically finds the right spacing by using a formula. He explain what the parameters would be and what needs to be considered. It is only now (over six years after his death) that technology has caught up with his invention. A new introduction by Francis Cave (who worked closely with David) will encourage the world to re-evaluate this system, getting it properly programmed and used. In particular, type designers can use David Kindersley's method of spacing as part of the design instead of seeing it as a separate process.
