Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
Als ich das Buch mehr oder weniger als reinen Impulskauf zulegte, erwartete ich nicht viel davon. Doch Simon Garfield schafft es mit Just My Type genau das richtige Level an Details über Schriftarten der Welt zu treffen, das den Leser dazu bringt, die Welt mit anderen Augen zu sehen.
