What the Font?! – A Manga Guide to Western Typeface

A unique and engaging tool for learning about design using anthropomorphized Western (Latin) fonts

When the designer in a small production company disappears, Marusu is forced to take over the job of creating logos. Unfortunately, Marusu is a sales rep who doesn't know the first thing about fonts. Luckily, a personification of the font Helvetica appears to guide Marusu into the world of typeface and design.
