Description

There are thousands of typefaces and more being produced monthly. It is a
continual challenge for designers to select the exact typeface best suited
for a project. In collaboration with the School of St. Martin, Art Center
Pasadena, Rhode Island School of Design, Basel, and Yale Design School, 30
Essential Typefaces for a Lifetime defines 30 of the most useful and
classic typefaces for all design needs and occasions. Neville Brody
imagined "it takes 10 years for someone to master a typeface." This book
contains "typefaces for a lifetime."
