"Glyphs are the hidden heroes of the typography world. You might not pay them
much attention, but they’re undeniably important. Glyphs—and by glyphs we’re
referring specifically to those little typographic symbols that include
punctuation—give intention and structure to a sentence; they help you interpret
a piece of text. They tell you when to pause, when to question, when to feel
enthused."

An extract from a fun new book for those of us who enjoy typography.

Share and enjoy,
