Hanging by a serif (John D. Berry)

A small book with few words about designing words, this one offers insights on the nature and practice of typography and design. Each statement is presented on its own page, the text juxtaposed with a single graphic element: an enlarged detail of a serif, each one from a different typeface. The playful presentation belies the underlying seriousness and usefulness of the advice. A meditative distraction that reinforces our biases.
