If you want to improve your graphic design skills, the very best way to do that is to master typography. Understanding fonts, typefaces, grid systems, and how to use typography well is the number one thing that can take a design from amateur to pro.
The best advice I can give to beginning designers wanting to DIY their own design school is to dive into the world on design books! So today, I'm pulling out my ten favorite design books about typography. Hopefully you can find a new resource to help you level up your type!
