Thinking With Type

Thinking With Type

Thinking with Type by design educator and historian Ellen Lupton strikes me as a kind of Strunk & White for designers working with type.

I haven’t gotten my hands on the actual printed book yet, but it has a companion website. Amazing organization, a subdued color palette and a broad array of resources available from the main page give the site all kinds of gravitas. There’s utility too: the Special Characters link opens a pop-up window which displays common keystrokes for em-dashes, umlauts, copyright symbols, etc.
