Sebastian Carter’s short profile of prominent type designers starting from Frederic W. Goudy to Carol Twombly (the only female designer featured in the book) is a good overview to typography. Worth a read.

Support

Although blogging is my passion, I have spent countless late-night hours and weekends finding materials, thinking, and writing. I want this blog to remain free and open. I have thought of putting up display ads, but I can’t bring myself to interrupt the design. If you enjoy reading, show me some love. Your contribution in any amount is appreciated.
