[This looks like a great typography resource. -egg]
Butterick has web-published a new book on typography for a general audience, Butterick’s Practical Typography. It covers the same subject, but without directives specific to the legal profession.
This time it’s not a print book. It’s not an e-book, either. It was created and coded by Butterick himself specifically for the Web. You can read it through like a book, but it’s set up as an easy reference guide, with links to font basics, font recommendations, text formatting, sample documents, etc. For those in a hurry, there’s a “Typography in Ten Minutes” section.
The book is freeware, but you can kick the author some compensation for his work through the website.
I love type. I’ve read many bookis on the subject. Butterick’s are by far the clearest and most useful of them all.
