While You're Reading
by Gerard Unger
This book is about everything that happens while you're reading, in front of your eyes and inside your head; and about what type designers, typographers and graphic designers bring to a page to make reading happen.Two examples of tantalizing questions will be answered: How is it possible to read without seeing any letters? How much hidden typographic knowledge does the average reader possess? Other subjects covered in this book include: legibility; the philosophy of typographic layout; invisible typography; pattern recognition; the reading process; engrams; the ergonomics of letterforms and more. Gerard Unger is a prominent typeface designer, graphic designer, author, and design educator. He is based in Bussum, The Netherlands.
