Thinking with Type, 2nd revised and expanded edition

Thinking with Type, 2nd revised and expanded edition A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students

Ellen Lupton2010
Our all time best selling book is now available in a revised and expanded second edition. Thinking with Type is the definitive guide to using typography in visual communication, from the printed page to the computer screen. This revised edition includes forty-eight pages of new content, including the latest information on style sheets for print and the web, the use of ornaments and captions, lining and non-lining numerals, the use of small caps and enlarged capitals, as well as information on captions, font licensing, mixing typefaces, and hand lettering. Throughout the book, visual examples show how to be inventive within systems of typographic form—what the rules are and how to break them. Thinking with Type is a type book for everyone: designers, writers, editors, students, and anyone else who works with words. The popular online companion to Thinking with Type (www.thinkingwithtype.com) has been revised to reflect the new material in the second edition.

It was a perfect introduction to typefaces and how types should be designed and managed in different environments (as the author said “Make the shoe fit, not the foot”).

I’ve learned what kerning is, the difference between a typeface and font, glyph and character, and many other things. It’s a great book and glad I read it.

I actually enjoyed the book very much, but I don't understand why are Lupton's book titles so misleading?! The book covers not only typography but some aspects of UX, Info-graphics, Grids, Web standards and some philosophical aspects of graphic design.
