Get Face to Face With the Great Ones,
By
This review is from: Typographic Specimens: The Great Typefaces (Paperback)
Goes well with Revival of the Fittest also edited by Meggs. This sample book is different in that the faces shown were chosen by other designers. The faces seen in this book are the ones that you will be using 95% of the time. It is always good to study the classic faces in detail to get a better sense of their character and see the posibilities in their shapes.
