The Typography Manual

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:26:34 +0000

The Typography Manual is just that—a manual with features that are more helpful than a print book. It is actually two apps in one—a manual and a set of resources. The fabulous mix of tools and reference has educational information, such as a history of printing, as well as functional helps for doing the job. Its 100-term glossary of typography gives you a definition and then it shows what it looks like. The style guide covers grammar and typographic rules. It has an em calculator, a font size ruler, a standard ruler, and a conversion table. The manual has a full listing of standard html codes for letters, numbers, and special characters. Updates are added regularly.

Color Expert is a portable palette that uses “snap & tap” technology. The snap is snapping a picture and the tap is the application’s ability to analyze and tap into the dominant colors from the photo and then render a perfect color scheme. It lets you capture colors from any place that your iPhone can travel, match them on the interactive color wheel, and save them for use on your projects. The color wheel can be set to work in either artistic pigments (RYB) or in scientific light values (RGB). The swatch book feature acts as an on-the-go reference chart.
