Typography Referenced: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to the Language, History, and Practice of Typography is an authoritative resource of typographic information for designers of all levels. Covering the basic foundations and core concepts of what constitutes typography and typographic design, Typography Referenced defines type-specific terms, language, classifications, principles, and processes. Richard Poulin, co-author of this volume, contributed an extensive chapter of insightful biographies on 68 influential type designers throughout typographic history. Divided into 3 periods: pre-20th-Century; 20th-Century to the present; and the 21st-Century with its “new breed” of type designers, the author concisely details each typographers’ background and accomplishments in the world of type.

The book is currently in its second printing and is also available in Chinese and Italian editions.
