No typographer or graphic designer has time to survey and compile the ever-growing collection of type-oriented sites on the WorldWide Web. That's why WebWorks: Typography and its accompanying direct-to-Web CD-ROM are indispensible resources for type, providing a broad sample of the character sets created by the new breed of type designer. The international roster includes highly-skilled, experienced artisans and type foundries such as T-26, Emigre, and the International Typeface Corporation as well as high-school-aged letterers such as Rob Dobi of Toxic Type and Christoph Mueller who are rewriting the rules of both typeface design and distribution. Each designer tells what spurred his or her interest in font creation, discloses who or what fuels their typographic imagination, and presents sage advice for young aspiring designers who want to try their hand at type design.
