Hello ARLIS!
Thank you to all who responded with suggestions for the typography question below – we received an absolute wealth of information, and my faculty member is quite happy with the results.
I’m planning to put together a list of all of the resources recommended shortly, do email me if you’d like a copy!
Best,
Anna

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Typographical Standards
I have a faculty member working on what he terms “glanceful reading” – how much information one is able to absorb in a glance at textual information – and how this
is affected by font/typography. He is particularly on the hunt for any “taxonomies of excellence” in relationship to this, and I’m drawing a bit of a blank as our design resources at MIT aren’t quite comprehensive.
So far we’ve found “Basics of Design: Layout & Typography for Beginners” by Lisa Graham, a few journal articles from various disciplines,
and plenty of web resources, but he’s after something definitive and more academic-leaning. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Anna
