Book designer
Typographic consultant
Design writer
I’ve been practicing typography – the art of designing with type – for more than forty years, as well as writing and editing books about typography and design. My attention has always been focused on content, especially long-form text. What I do is ergonomic typography – type you can read.
John D. Berry is responsible for the superb design of Content. The downloadable PDF of the entire book will give you a sense of just how hand-turned, artisanal and deliciously smart the interiors of this book are.
Cory Doctorow
Hardly anybody knows what typography is, whom it serves, how it works. With the exception of John Berry.
Erik Spiekermann
One of the best design writers and editors of the past decade.
Roger Black
His writing is truly engrossing. I should have wiped my reddened eyes and stopped reading him, but I just couldn’t.
Bruce Sterling
