Tim Brown: Flexible Typesetting Is Now Yours, For Free

Another title from A Book Apart was re-released for free. The latest? Tim Brown’s Flexible sentence. I may not be the biggest expert on typography and its best practices, but I remember reading this book (it’s still on the shelf next to me!) with the thought, “Maybe, just.” PerhapsMaybe I can have a conversation with him about it Robin when I finished it.

I still think I’m in “maybe” territory, but that’s not Tim’s fault – I found the book super helpful and accessible for newbies like me who want to improve. For convenience, I’m leaving out the chapter titles here to give you an idea of ​​what you’re getting.

• What is typesetting?
• Prepare text and code (Planning is definitely part of the typesetting process)
• Select fonts (that helped me a lot!)
• Form text blocks (Modern CSS can help here)
• Making compositions (Ideal if you’re designing long-form content)
• Pressure relief
