The practical implications of "Thinking with Type" are that the information presented can be immediately applied within the context of design history and theory [1]. The lessons learned from the book are applicable to typographic design wherever it is practiced, including printed materials of all kinds, websites, and television screens [1].
The book is divided into three sections: letter, text, and grid. Each section includes an essay explaining key concepts followed by practical demonstrations to illustrate the material [1]. A companion website will provide examples of design on screen and other information for readers and teaching professionals [1].
