The ability to wield typography is one of those things that is a clear
indication of a talented designer. Being able to craft type well and
thoughtfully takes a deep understanding of the inherent complexities
and a keen eye for the minute and subtle details. This book contains a
collection of 1,000 instances of thoughtful type usage along with
credits that note what fonts were used in the design. Like its
predecessor, 1,000 Graphic Elements, the photography in this book
focuses in on the typography so readers can get an up-close look at the
work.
1,000
Type Treatments showcases an array of fonts in a catalog-like format,
making it easy for the working designer to practically shop for ideas.
The book is organized by style so if a designer has a traditional,
elegant, or edgy piece, they can go directly to that section of the
book, where they will find a wide collection of fresh ideas in the
style they are seeking.
Also included is a directory of font
foundries and suppliers, providing busy designers with a quick
reference guide to where they can find the fonts that pique their
interest.
