Inspiring introduction to a world in transformation

If like me you use the computer screen to communicate, but are hazy on how it works, and even hazier on how it can be made to work best, this is a book you must have. It not only makes it clear how words need to work on screen, but why and how as well. Götz is superb at explaining how the physical make up of screens and the demands of web design affect the way typefaces can be used, and her beautifully designed book is an inspiration and a pleasure to use. The challenges involved in converting a paper-based technology like type design to the electronic world are so diverse and fundamental that anyone interested in type will find much to learn here - and much in the witty and amused text to enjoy
