    This cleverly designed introduction to typography begins with a large scale, the proportions in space, and ends with the smallest typographic scale, typefaces. The authors skillfully introduce the world of visual design and typography, awakening the reader's curiosity through sophisticated aesthetics and revealing the magic of typography page by page. Captivatingly short and concise texts introduce the respective topics; typographic problems are illustrated using simple geometric shapes. The first chapter deals with questions of proportion: mathematical systems, the golden ratio, paper formats, grid systems, and typographic units of measurement. The second chapter addresses the tension between black and white: design problems, principles of typesetting, and the harmony of black and white. The third chapter is devoted to the details: the origins of letterforms, typeface families, and historical typefaces. The use of slightly transparent paper emphasizes the effect of a grid system. This transparency creates a different pattern on each page—a remarkably different typography book.
