TYPOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS

Kimberly Elam

Typographic Systems explores eight major structural frameworks beyond the grid, including random, radial, modular, and bilateral systems. By taking the reader through exercises, student work, and professional examples, it offers a broad range of design solutions. With clarity and substance, each system, from the structured axis to the nonhierarchical radial array, is explained and explored so that the reader comes away with a better understanding of these intricate complex arrangements.
