Sinossi
Una buona impaginazione può certamente catturare l'attenzione, ma quando i dettagli non sono curati, la lettura richiede uno sforzo eccessivo e il piacere finisce subito. In questo agile volumetto Jost Hochuli, uno fra i più noti e apprezzati grafici svizzeri, spiega come assicurare ai lettori la miglior esperienza possibile. Per farlo ci introduce al mondo del dettaglio tipografico o della microtipografia e analizza uno per uno i suoi elementi costitutivi: lettera, spazio tra le lettere, parola, spazio tra le parole, riga, interlinea e colonna di testo. Sono tutti aspetti spesso trascurati dai progettisti grafici perché non rientrano nella sfera creativa, ma dai quali dipende la leggibilità del testo. Attraverso esempi e casistiche, Hochuli segnala problemi e indica soluzioni, stimola acume e senso critico per poi invitare ogni grafico ad assumersi la responsabilità di decidere con coerenza, buon senso e sensibilità tutte le volte che la professione glielo richieda.

Such an excellent little book. 60 pages of pure gold. Hochuli starts at the lowest levels: how various marks make up a letterform, then how letters make up words, how words make up lines, and how lines make a column of text. All the while he points out how fine typography allows the readers eye to t Leggi tutto
Loved this exploration of “microtypography,” where we start at the physical process of reading and the smallest unit of type (the letter) and make our way up to the larger (linespacing/columns) and how typefaces make us feel. These details may feel subtle but their impact is large, and this book bri Leggi tutto
A simple yet insightful guide for beautiful typography. Ideal for both students beginning their explorations or professionals wanting a reminder of time-tested guidelines. As with many typographic guidebooks, however, their are a few stylistic conceits that are presented as rules but when compared t Leggi tutto
There isn't much to say about this precious booklet besides that it's good. Very simple, very clear, it is a typical typography book, great for beginners. I respect Jost Hochuli a lot after reading his 'Designing books' and seeing his work. Having said that 'Details in Typography' came as a bit too s Leggi tutto
A short book about some essential guiding principles in the design of letters, letterspacing, words, wordspacing, lines, linespacing, and shapes. Pretty damn good, especially for how it manages to convey so much in so little. One of my key takeaways was that letters that are more top-heavy, like "W" a Leggi tutto
Short must-read for all graphic designers or anyone who works with type. Well-explained with many examples. True to its name, it gets into the details of type and how they can affect legibility or atmosphere. I will treat it like a reference book and return to it from time to time.
Definitely something to learn from this little book which is beautifully designed and typeset. But there’s very little content for the price. In the past, I paid less for books that I learned more from. That’s why it’s a 3/5 for me.
A brief read about the finest points of typography, if not necessarily groundbreaking and/or especially lively. A good refresher if your type skills are rusting a little. (Or if you just spend too much time on the web, like me!)
