Detail in Typography - Jost Hochuli

A well-thought-out and attractive layout that is adapted to the text will capture the reader's attention and make them want to read. On the other hand, when no attention is paid to the details of the composition, the pleasure initially felt by the reader may disappear due to the effort required by tedious reading.

The Detail in Typography focuses on answering essential questions about the letter, the word, the line, the paragraph, and spacing. It considers these different visual elements that allow for optimal readability of a text. A true tool for typography students, it is the essential guide for graphic designers and typographers who want to constantly question and improve their work. It is also aimed at designers and publishers who want their publications to be read in depth, not just skimmed through.
