The predominance of the internet as a global system of interconnected computer networks and the rapidly developing technologies of the digital world keep typography in a constant state of evolution.

The combination of established print typography rules and the special characteristics of web design allows readers to enter the world of web typography. Based on contents ranging from basic information to analytical font selection criteria, this book can be a valuable guide to gaining finesse in the use of fonts for the web.
