Thinking With Type is the go-to guide to learning and using typography in visual communication.

This book focuses on the essentials like typefaces, typesetting, hierarchy, alignment, and using the grid. There are also style sheets with tips for setting type on print and web, information about using ornaments, setting captions, the use of small caps, and advice on mixing typefaces.

Each section is filled with lots of visual examples to help cement the information Lupton provides.

It also features lots of examples of student work that showcase the design principles Lupton presents. There are also essays, demonstrations, and valuable exercises for students to try out on their own.
