Description: "www.type concentrates on design issues; in contrast to the various technical manuals available, the focus here is on the look of type and its functional appropriateness. The opening section explores the different type possibilities for various kinds of Web sites, whether personal, informational, institutional, advertising or - perhaps hardest of all - hybrid sites that need to have more than one function. The latter part of the book is given over to a showcase of the top 300 sites for type design, each with a full examination of how its type works for both style and purpose, and how readers might apply the same rules to their type design for the internet."--BOOK JACKET.
