Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is out. Dive into the details of fonts, markup, and text layout!
Writing this chapter meant a lot of research into old-fashioned analog typography. Typographic jargon is of that past world, and doesn't always map well to modern digital-first design. I wanted to cover the history so I could explain the typographic concepts. I hope the history is clear and concise.
It's been a while since the last chapter: I was teaching. Utah's CS 6968 is now done, and the students did a great job working from book drafts. I'll be incorporating the lessons learned into the text. That should mean more frequent updates, but if I forget, hit me up on twitter or check out the blog. And thanks as always for reading!
