It focuses on the specifics of setting type on the web: modular scales, vertical rhythm, and responsive measure, which print-oriented books skip. Work through it while styling a real page so the rules land in your CSS. A practical bridge from typographic theory to the browser.

Study first
How to study it
- Do every exercise. The exercises are the course; the videos are the setup.
- Pace the course across weeks, not days. Spacing beats cramming for anything you want to keep.
- Build one project beyond the assignments that forces you to combine what you learned.
- Self-test at the end of each module: close everything and list what you can now do.
