Design and Type is a curated collection of fonts and features classic and modern fonts.
This book is all about exploring various fonts, designs, some examples of where they have been used, as well as where they can be used. It is a curated selection of 26 fonts and designs, explaining each one and their unique features in a more visual way. Whether you’re a seasoned designer or just starting your journey in the world of graphic design, this book serves as a valuable tool to help with your design work or project.
Design and Type is based on three core elements: TYPEFACE which is all about various fonts, ranging from timeless classics to modern types; COMPLEMENTARY FONTS which are selected for their simplicity and versatility; and tips on FONT PAIRING which is about choosing different fonts that create contrasting or harmonising that complement the main typeface.

Why I Published the Book…
As a young and upcoming graphic designer, I’ve always been captivated by the power of typography. From my earliest days in design, I found myself endlessly fascinated by how the choice of a font could transform a simple message into something impactful and unforgettable. This passion for typography has been a driving force in my creative journey, inspiring me to explore, experiment and refine my understanding of the art and psychology behind choosing the right fonts.
The idea for this book was born out of my own experiences navigating the vast world of typefaces. As I worked on various projects, I realised how essential it was to have a collection of go-to fonts that could elevate my designs and make them stand out. I wanted to share this knowledge with others, especially young and aspiring graphic designers who, like me, are eager to create eye-catching and effective designs. This short book is a culmination of my love for typeface and design, and it’s my way of offering a resource that I wish I had when I was starting out.
The writing process for this book has been both focused and purposeful. I aimed to create something that was concise yet rich in value – something that designers at any level could quickly refer to when in need of inspiration or guidance. Each typeface included has been carefully selected based on its ability to enhance design work, whether for individual work, branding, editorial projects or digital media.
My hope is that this book not only serves as a practical resource but also as a source of inspiration. I want it to encourage other young designers to dive deep into the world of typography, to experiment boldly and to push the boundaries of their creativity. Typography is a powerful tool, and with the right knowledge and a bit of passion, it can elevate your work to new heights.
