Together with Patrick Marc Sommer, I wrote and designed a comprehensive reference book on the fundamentals of typography with a focus on practical applications. 

What is typography? If you don’t deal with it professionally, you probably don’t come across this term very often. You might know that it has something to do with letters or typefaces. Yet we’re surrounded by typography everywhere: texts we read every day on news sites or in books, social media posts, and advertising slogans. Each of these texts is designed—though with varying degrees of skill and effectiveness.

This book shows—through a relaxed, clear structure of the topics and with practical exercises in Adobe InDesign—how to make typography work smartly for you: so that it supports the content, creates moods, and makes texts a pleasure to read. Because typography is fun.

"While *The ABCs of Typography* also provides basic knowledge, its practical focus on InDesign gives it a different—and very useful—approach. Its relaxed structure encourages readers to keep turning the pages and delve deeper."

“Conclusion: The book covers a very broad range of topics. In fact, each chapter could be a book in its own right—think of books like *Detail Typography* and *Reading Typography*. So, as a reader, you get a lot of value for your money with *The ABCs of Typography*.”
