Chapter 3 of Graphic Communications

I just recently finished outlining chapter 3 of Graphic Communications. This chapter was mainly based on getting more familiar with text size, positioning and of course fonts. I have learned a lot more about this because of this book. I've learned more on where some of the fonts came from for instance; In 1773 a designer named Giambattista bodni from Italy and his friend Benjamin Franklin introduced the new modern roman type. This font runs "perpendicular to the baseline and then parallel to the vertical stems of the letters". Not only learning about certain fonts but also thanks to Robert Bringhurst we understand a lot more about the fun and joy of typography.
