If done right, type can be one of the most powerful tools for shaping the way an audience perceives written information, written information such as these very fiery-hot words you see before you. The pages that follow are your mini-guidebook to the strange and magical land of type. Your guide on this tour is Webmonkey Nadav, the designer with a human-friendly touch.
