Type Talks

The period immediately following the Second World War was a time of great change and optimism for Canadians. Many looked toward a bigger – and hopefully better – future, equipped with the right tools to help them move forward. In the third E. B. Eddy booklet, Carl Dair provides a strong foundation for understanding both typefaces and typography. Beginning with the basic classification of typefaces, he goes on to explain essential typographic concepts such as texture, spacing, harmony, contrast, and copy-fitting, offering readers the tools to approach typography with clarity and confidence.
