Stamm:Schrifttypen - Verstehen Kombinie

The combination of typefaces is one of the great challenges and at the same time a constant allure for typographers and designers: Should it be opulent, limited, or ideally not happen at all? Which typefaces harmonize with each other, and which do not? Which complement each other and even enhance one another? The specialist literature offers little assistance in this regard.

This handbook demonstrates that criteria can be established for mixing typefaces. It provides a deeper understanding of the variety of type forms through detailed examination of type design and a renewed classification of type. By systematically analyzing analogy and contrast, it delivers the urgently needed insights for combining typefaces. An indispensable standard work for typographers and graphic designers.
