This book is a great entry point or resource to return to for all typographic designer out there. It focuses on the structure of writing letters and the interplay between writing tool and writing shapes. These are the sort of primary principles i wished I had learned as a student
Noordzij's discussion about white-space both in letters and in words is very good. His explanation of pressure and angle and interrupted/running construction is very clear. His extensive commentary on people and things outside his area of expertise is very distracting and ruins what could have been a very good book.
