Typography by Aaron Burns

Rescued from the library skip by Andy, this fantastic book demonstrates an incredible range of typography. Resetting the type digitally would be a joy, perhaps an idea for a workshop or two. Enjoy.

Knowledge and courage are required to achieve the best results in typography … Fine typography is the result of nothing more than an attitude. Its appeal comes from the understanding used in its planning; the designer must care.

Advice to be heeded:

Evaluate your elements. Eliminate everything that isn’t absolutely necessary. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
