It \u201cisn\u2019t just for lawyers,\u201d I said then, \u201cit\u2019s for anyone who cares about how text looks in print or on the Web.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now Butterick has web-published a new book on typography for a general audience, Butterick\u2019s Practical Typography. It covers the same subject, but without directives specific to the legal profession.<\/p>\n<p>This time it\u2019s not a print book. It\u2019s not an e-book, either. It was created and coded by Butterick himself specifically for the Web. You can read it through like a book, but it\u2019s  set up as an easy reference guide, with links to font basics, font recommendations, text formatting, sample documents, etc. For those in a hurry, there\u2019s a \u201cTypography in Ten Minutes\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p>The book is freeware, but you can kick the author some compensation for his work through the website. <\/p>\n<p>I love type. I\u2019ve read many bookis on the subject. Butterick\u2019s are by far the clearest and most useful of them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free crash course in typography<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13780"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13780"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13785,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13780\/revisions\/13785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
