Jost Hochuli’s concise guide to micro-typography considers everything that can happen within a column of text. The book was published first, in several languages, in 1987 and 1988. Hochuli then developed the German text, publishing it again in 2005, with Verlag Niggli in Switzerland. That new edition is the basis for our book: translating and adapting the work to English-language conditions.

This slim book is a handsome exemplar of what Jost Hochuli is promoting. As its title suggests, it deals with the minutiae of setting, always giving reasons for what is suggested, and it will be of use to all who want to sharpen up their practice.
