A brilliant study on the use of typography in exhibition and display design. The book establishes the basic rules, which must be mastered before they can be broken. The major part of the book is devoted to contemporary exhibition design and features the world's leading design groups such as Pentagram, working on a range of projects from the most distinguished museums in the world to local venues.
Hidden within the book's very good information on type design and the process of designing a typeface are numerous tips for the drafting of letterform in Illustrator, Fontographer, and Ikarus. For instance, Matthew Carter informs the reader of certain rules for the "placing of control points (vector points) in Postscript." Many designers discuss their different methods of inputting their drawing. Issues of font: outlines, metrics, bitmaps, hinting, scaling and other technical infor is touched upon. Though this technical stuff is not the focus of the book this sort of information is very hard to come by, hence, the book is a wonderful asset because of it.
