Massimo Vignelli has published an amazing(and free) 96 page book on better understanding typography in graphic design. The book is very simply divided into two key areas: the Intangibles and the Tangibles. The “Vignelli Canon” covers everything from the size of A4 paper to the types of responsibilities he feels designers should have in mind.

For those who might not be familiar with Massimo Vignelli or the design world, he is the man responsible for the world’s most recognizable corporate identities such as American Airlines, Knoll, Benneton. Vignelli also designed the iconic signage for the New York subway system! Thank You Mr. Vignelli!
