Typographic Systems

The popular Design Brief series includes two previous books by Kimberly Elam: Geometry of Design and Grid Systems. Now Elam returns with a new addition to this respected series.

Typographic organization is a complex system with many elements at play, including hierarchy, order of reading, legibility and contrast. Typographic Systems explores eight major structural frameworks, including random, radial, modular and bilateral. By taking the reader through exercises, student work and professional examples, Elam offers a broad range of design solutions.

Kimberly Elam (Florida) is chair of the Graphic and Interactive Communication Department at the Ringling School of Art and Design.
