Just My Type: A Book About Fonts
by Simon Garfield
This was a fun read, even more so because every so often I'd look up and suddenly notice a font I'd just read something about - street signs, soccer jerseys, and of course the London Underground with its famous font. But being a book-arts nerd, I expected Garfield to cover more of the (rather long) history of fonts, so I was a little disappointed that it focused disproportionately on the second half of the twentieth century, especially digital fonts. Nonetheless, it was full of interesting anecdotes and made for good summer reading without rotting my brain as much as chick lit or the other usual suspects for vacation reads.
