Typography Primer

Published: 12/18/2005 | Updated: 12/18/2005 |  Discuss

Adobe has a nice introduction to typography, Typography Primer (744K pdf), for those who want to get their feet wet in this huge field. Learn about measuring type, word and letter spacing, typographic color, types with optical size variations, expert-set typefaces, Serif vs Sans Serif, etc. There’s also an overview of how to choose a typeface for body copy and headlines.

For some advanced reading I can highly recommend Stop Stealing Sheep—a fantastic book.
