About this book

Flexible Typesetting starts from a shift: because of the web, a typographer's role is now to suggest choices rather than settle them. Rather than fixing typefaces, sizes, line spacing and margins by hand, Tim Brown shows how to prepare text and instruct it so those decisions resolve themselves. The book treats typesetting as the part of typography that carries the reading experience, and works through the pressures that build when no one can predict how or where a text will be read.
