Sans in Use and Serif in Use are two comprehensive books that showcase the creative pairings and ingenious applications of serif and sans serif typefaces. These books serve as a valuable reference point for both type designers and type lovers, providing insight into the world of typography and inspiring designers to create stunning designs.

In the world of typography, it is not uncommon to see combinations of serif and sans serif typefaces in the same design. However, it takes skill to combine them in order to avoid tension and clashes, and ensure maximum readability of the text in the design. From font weights to classifications, each font has its own distinct personality, and should be carefully paired to convey the right tone and mood of the design.

Featuring a selection of type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft, Sans in Use / Serif in Use collates the best combinations of the two typeface categories and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers alike.

Sans in Use explores the use of sans serif typefaces in various design contexts, from digital interfaces to print publications. It features a wide range of examples, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of sans serif typefaces in modern design. The book also delves into the history and development of sans serif typefaces, providing insight into the design principles that guide their creation.

Serif in Use, on the other hand, focuses on the use of serif typefaces in design. It features a selection of classic and contemporary serif typefaces, each with its own unique characteristics and applications. The book also provides tips and techniques for using serif typefaces effectively, such as pairing them with other typefaces, adjusting font sizes, and creating contrast.

Both Sans in Use and Serif in Use are beautifully designed books that showcase the craftsmanship and creativity of type designers. They provide a wealth of information and inspiration for designers looking to enhance their typography skills and create stunning designs. Whether you are a seasoned designer or just starting out, these books are a must-have for anyone interested in typography and design.
