In Advanced Typography, expert practitioner and instructor Richard Hunt goes beyond the basics to take your understanding and usage to the next level.
Taking a practical approach, the book combines visual, linguistic, historical and psychological systems with the broad range of applications and audiences of type today.
From the challenges of designing across media and cultures, to type as information and craft, Hunt includes theory with illustrative applied examples.

Medical errors due to misreading written printed, and increasingly, screen-displayed medication names or dosages are a relatively common source of iatrogenic outcomes. Although research has been done in general typographic legibility and in typographical treatment of medical names, there has been little, if any, systematic investigation of typographical forms themselves as a means of reducing communication errors leading to adverse medical outcomes. Further, research on disfluency and CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) technologies also suggest approaches to reading that call into question traditional perceptions of readability and legibility. These aspects may inform the design of type forms that have the potential to reduce the frequency of medical errors related to the visual representation of medication names and doses.
