Type Tricks: User design
Royal Danish Academy
A volume focused on the usability and accessibility of typography. Through over 140 illustrated tips, the book translates scientific research into practical suggestions for improving readability in complex contexts.
“Type Tricks: User Design” is the third volume in a trilogy dedicated to typographic design — a practical and illustrated manual that addresses the challenges of readability in complex situations: from signage to small print, from rapid reading to visual scanning. Particular attention is given to readers with specific difficulties, such as people with visual impairments, the elderly, children, and individuals with dyslexia.
Unlike traditional academic articles, which are often dense and inaccessible, Type Tricks: User Design presents over 140 tips based on scientific evidence, accompanied by clear and immediate illustrations. This visual approach facilitates understanding and the practical application of recommendations, making the book a useful tool for both novice students and experienced professionals.
The editorial project focuses on improving the reading experience through a better understanding of how different typefaces and letterforms influence the way we read.
Type Tricks: User Design is a significant contribution to the field of typography, offering concrete tools to design more readable and accessible texts for a broad and diverse audience.
