Description
This ingenious new guide presents 226 fonts from all the major type libraries in well over 1,000 typefaces. The selection ranges from classic fonts to newcomers, from Baskerville, Bodoni and Jansen to Auto, Farnham Text and Ginger. Each entry features special characters and includes a passage of dummy text that allows designers to assess the overall apearance and characteristic style of a font. Its utility and careful design make the Type Selector both the ideal power tool for day-to-day design work and the perfect designer gift.
