Typography

The alphabet only has 26 forms, yet each shape can be interpreted in so many ways. Here are several examples of the letter A in serif and san-serif faces.

Table of Contents, such a simple thing, or is it? I know it tends to be the overlooked, last minute item in the publishing industry. But when you think of it, the TOC has a very important role. Partnering with folios, it is a book’s main navigation system. If the TOC is designed poorly, the reader can become frustrated with the entire book. When done well, you can create a gorgeous page of well-set typography.
