By Denise Bosler

By breaking down the study of type into a systematic progression of relationships — letter, word, sentence, paragraph, page, and screen — award-winning graphic designer and professor of communication design Denise Bosler provides a unique and illuminating perspective on typography, for both print and digital media, and for designers of all skill levels.

This edition includes new interviews with type designers and graphic designers, including Alex Slobzheninov, Lavinia Lascaris, Harkiran Kalsi, Adonis Durado, Janine Vangool, and Kiel Mutschelknaus; more coverage of recent typeface developments, including Open Type and Variable fonts, as well as kinetic typography, projection mapping, and generative type; and updated examples and imagery throughout the book to showcase the latest designs and innovations in typography

Through instruction, interviews, and real-world inspiration, Mastering Type explores the power of each typographic element—both as it stands alone and as it works with other elements-to create successful design, to strengthen your skill set, and to inspire your next project.
