For the first time in hundreds of years, because of the web, the role of the typographer has changed. We no longer decide; we suggest. We no longer simply choose typefaces, font sizes, line spacing, and margins; we prepare and instruct text to make those choices for itself. In this book, Tim Brown illuminates the complex, beautiful world of typesetting-arguably the most important part of typography because it forms the backbone of the reading experience-and shows us how to parry the inevitable pressures that arise when we can no longer predict how, and where, our text will be read.

Industry Reviews

With a refreshing clarity found throughout Flexible Typesetting, Tim Brown explains what's important in setting type for the web, but also why and how it's important. Brown shows us techniques to make sites clearer and more successful-not just front and center, but behind the scenes as well.

As I read Tim Brown's new book, I felt like a smart, considerate friend was expertly guiding me through some tricky topics. Tim explains even the knottiest typesetting principles with humor, kindness, and clarity. This book made me a better typesetter; what's more, it was an absolute delight to read.
