Published: 2011 by Gotham
Format: Hardcover
Genre: Nonfiction
Typesetting and font design, as well as the people and situations responsible for them, are all explored in Just My Type: A Book about Fonts, a cheeky work by British journalist Simon Garfield. Filled with anecdotes and short stories about the history of types, readers can explore the question, "What does your favorite type say about you?" The shear abundance of fonts in this book is not ideal for the visually over-stimulated; however, the broad range of font stories, including the account of the Font that Drowned and how Helvetica took over the world, make Just My Type a fascinating look at a subtle, omnipresent part of our daily lives.
