Review Quotes




"Cyrus Highsmith takes the lid off a paragraph of type and shows its inner workings. There is nothing you need to understand about using type that's not in this book. [Highsmith] explains the correct terms for the typographic components of form and space that make a letter, a word, a line, a paragraph, and he does it with clear drawings, simple language, and a legible typeface for the text."
- Matthew Carter

"Cyrus Highsmith whisks you down the rabbit hole of typographic technique. Before you know it, you will not only be able to kern, track, rag, and hyphenate your paragraphs like a pro, you'll be able to explain the underlying science to everyone you know."
- Ellen Lupton

"Inside Paragraphs should be required reading for everyone who studies typography and graphic design. It will also be of interest to anyone else wondering why typography matters."
- Paul Shaw

"No matter how much you think you know about type, [Highsmith] teaches you there's more to learn."
- Steven Heller
