On Stone: The Art and Use of Typography on the Personal Computer

The three chapters in this beautifully designed book address three fundamental needs of type users. The first chapter provides a grounding in the origins & evolution of typography, & describes Stones process in designing his typefaces on, & for, the computer. Chapter 2 offers a wide-ranging series of graphic examples of the ways in which type & design can be used in many contexts. Stone comments on the designs, & Brian Wu, the books graphic designer, shares his thoughts about the typographic issues. In the final chapter, all 18 members of the Stone type family are exhibited in the style of formal specimens.
