Working on a long-term design plan and identity system at my current job has rekindled my love for typography—from the historical to the contemporary. Below are some of the resources which I’ve found useful:

• Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students by Ellen Lupton
• 20Th-Century Type Remix by Lewis Blackwell
• Typology: Type Design from the Victorian Era to the Digital Age by Steven Heller, Louise Fili
• Type: The Secret History of Letters by Simon Loxley
• A Tally of Types by Stanley Morison, Brooke Crutchley
• Typographic Design: Form and Communication by Rob Carter, Ben Day, Philip B. Meggs
• Digital Type Design Guide: The Page Designer’s Guide to Working With Type by Sean Cavanaugh, Ken Oyer
