This handy volume takes the mystery out of font selection by displaying the entire alphabet and numerals for 1000 unique typefaces making it easy for designers—or anyone who works with type—to find the perfect face for any job. An easy-to-understand icon system organizes hundreds of fonts making searching and cross-referencing easy.

Accessible and thorough 1000 Fonts is an indispensable tool for novice and expert designers alike.

Thanks Jeff, I wish I’d had this book at college too! That’s partly* why I wrote it; now my own students have it.

*(Okay, also because it was a fascinating, absorbing project – I enjoyed doing it immensely.)
