I mean now that I'm reading the description it literally describes itself as a textbook, so don't listen to me I guess
Oh and my old type teacher wrote a book with Erik Spiekermann(!), Explorations in Typography. It's less textbooky but Carolina was always a proponent of mindful practice
For more typographic finger wagging please check out Bringhurst's Elements of Typographic Style, it's one of my favorites
To wit:
- To differentiate a header, you can use size, or color, or typeface, or indentation. Pick one.
- Do not arbitrarily use type sizes, there should be a relationship
- Monospace type is not "more professional"
- Likewise there should be a relationship between type size and vertical spacing, do not just use whatever
- Do not mix centered, rag right, and justified type.
- Do not arbitrarily mix typefaces, there should be some relationship. Similar sensibilities? Same Designer?
It's funny though, a lot of the examples/tutorials I have seen produce typographic horrors on a scale I haven't seen since my first semester in art school. For a language that was ostensibly invented to make typesetting look good, it certainly doesn't seem to encourage good type hygiene
