At Hesed University, we believe that design is not only a craft but also a means of stewardship — communicating truth, clarity, and beauty for the glory of God. Thinking with Type exemplifies this purpose.
Renowned educator Ellen Lupton offers a thoughtful and accessible guide to the language of typography — showing how letters, words, and visual systems shape the way we read, think, and connect. In this expanded third edition, Lupton broadens the conversation to include diverse writing systems, global perspectives, and inclusive design principles, reminding readers that communication is both technical and deeply human.
Through engaging essays, clear diagrams, and real-world examples, Thinking with Type teaches how to design with integrity and intention — balancing creativity with structure, freedom with order. It remains an essential text for students, educators, and Christian designers who desire to use design as a tool for truth, compassion, and thoughtful communication in a complex world.
Perfect for: graphic design students, writers, and educators seeking a strong foundation in typography as a form of meaningful communication.
