Typographic organization has always been a complex process with many elements at play, such as hierarchy, order of reading, legibility, and contrast. In 'Typographic Systems' Kimberly Elam, author of the bestselling books 'Geometry of Design' and 'Grid Systems', explores eight major structural frameworks beyond the grid - including random, radial, modular, and bilateral systems. By taking the reader through exercises, student work, and professional examples, Elam offers a broad range of design solutions that transcend the predictable and mundane.
