Takeaways
Description

A good eye for typography is an advantage to many creative industries. The Anatomy of Type (in the UK, The Geometry of Type) looks at letters more closely to discern between related fonts and how letter form qualities impact the mood, readability, and utility of each design. You'll find current typefaces that are less prevalent — and frequently more helpful — than overused classics such as Garamond , Bodoni , Gill Sans , and Helvetica , among others.
