Butterick’s Practical Typography

If you work with in­for­ma­tion and ideas, then writ­ing plays a cen­tral role in your pro­fes­sional life. You might be a pro­gram­mer, writ­ing doc­u­men­ta­tion for a new soft­ware tool. You might be a sci­en­tist, writ­ing a pro­posal for a re­search grant. You might be a law­yer, writ­ing a brief for court. Ty­pog­ra­phy is the vi­sual com­po­nent of the writ­ten word. And be­ing a pub­lisher of the writ­ten word nec­es­sar­ily means be­ing a ty­pog­rapher. This book will make you a bet­ter typographer.
