The Ten Commandments of Typography & Type Heresy

posted by John Lampard on Friday, 10 October, 2008 to the design and art subset

Alexander Charchar reviews Paul Felton’s guide, and mis-guide, to all matters typography, “The Ten Commandments of Typography/Type Heresy”.

As the title suggests, this is a book of ten rules and why they should be obeyed and why they should be broken. For most, it’ll serve as a reminder of school days past, something Felton seems to have kept in mind. More than a guide book on typographic basics, Felton gives us something fun and enjoyable. It takes something which we love (typography) and something we’ve all grappled with (‘the rules’) and pushes them to extreme ends of the spectrum.
