Jessica has done so much great work she could have simply published a monograph. Instead, she shows you how to do great work too. That says everything about who Jessica is — and what kind of book this is.

Unlike most focused type and lettering books, Jessica covers a very broad range of topics in very approachable terms. From formal models of letter construction and serif structure all the way through software suggestions, vector drafting, and decorative shading. It functions as a perfect gateway drug to the world of lettering and type, building a solid foundation by addressing the biggest real-world issues. Plus, it’s just damn nice to look at.

Even when I was a wee baby designer I loved sharing every ounce of knowlegdge I’d acquire with others. This book is the first printed compendium of that knowledge—giving insight into my work and process and teaching tips about artwork creation like best vector practices. You can find a bunch of other great resources on my website.
