Butterick’s Practical Typography

New web-based book by Matthew Butterick. From his opening chapter:

This is a bold claim, but I stand behind it: if you learn and follow these five typography rules, you will be a better typographer than 95% of professional writers and 70% of professional designers. (The rest of this book will raise you to the 99th percentile in both categories.)

All it takes is ten minutes — five minutes to read these rules once, then five minutes to read them again.
