Figxx, TYPE MATTERS!

"Type Matters!" Book by Jim Williams is a book of tips for everyday use, for all users of typography, from students and professionals to anyone who does any layout design on a computer. The book is arranged into three chapters: an introduction to the basics of typography; headline and display type; and setting text.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Basics of Typography
This chapter lays the foundation by explaining the fundamental principles of typography. It covers essential terminology and concepts such as kerning, leading, ligatures, and hanging punctuation. The aim is to make readers comfortable with the basic elements that influence the appearance and readability of text.

Chapter 2: Headline and Display Type
The second chapter focuses on the use of type in headlines and display settings. It explores how to choose and apply different typefaces for maximum impact in larger text settings, such as titles and advertising. This chapter provides practical tips for making bold typographic choices that capture attention while maintaining readability and aesthetic appeal.

Chapter 3: Setting Text

The final chapter deals with the intricacies of setting body text. It addresses issues such as line spacing, alignment, and the treatment of numbers within text blocks. Practical examples illustrate what constitutes good typography and highlight common mistakes to avoid. This chapter helps readers fine-tune their typographic skills to produce polished and professional documents.

The book also includes various sections within each chapter that delve into specific typographic problems and principles, providing a detailed and actionable guide for anyone working with text on a computer​
