«Just My Type: A Book About Fonts» is Simon Garfield's essay on typography, published by Profile Books in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Simon Garfield weaves the history of typography with anecdotes: Helvetica and Comic Sans become protagonists, Barack Obama and Amy Winehouse show the expressive weight of each letter, and creators such as Neville Brody or Margaret Calvert and typefaces like Baskerville and Zapf appear, up to the arrival of Letraset fonts on computers.
Published on 22 September 2011. It falls within typography, in the categories of art, culture and technology.
For those curious about design and visual communication who want to approach typography without being specialists, with a close and anecdotal approach.
