Simon Garfield
Simon Garfield’s Just My Type is a book of stories about fonts. It examines how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. It explains why we are still influenced by type choices made more than 500 years ago, and why the T in the Beatles logo is longer than the other letters. It profiles the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, as well as people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook. And beyond all this, the book reveals what may be the very best and worst fonts in the world – and what your choice of font says about you.
Freda Sack FISTD
Freda Sack has a passion for letterforms, and likes ‘making things happen’ typographically. A type designer with experience of all aspects of the design of typefaces, and the development and implementation of fonts.
