There are thousands of typefaces and more being produced monthly. It is
a continual challenge for designers to select the exact typeface best
suited for a project. In collaboration with the School of St. Martin,
Art Center Pasadena, Rhode Island School of Design, Basel, and Yale
Design School, 30 Essential Typefaces for a Lifetime defines 30 of the
most useful and classic typefaces for all design needs and occasions.
Neville Brody imagined “it takes 10 years for someone to master a
typeface.” This book contains “typefaces for a lifetime.”
