This review in HTML is a trial. All comments for improvement are very welcome at beaufort@iname.com
I am planning to build an on-line website based on this review for June 1998. There seems to be a need for a general resource on typography and usability with a multidisciplinary approach.
If you know of any web-resources already available on this subject or if you have suggestions, please write to me.
Feel free to distribute this review to others. In hopes of serving designers and usability-loving professionals alike with this review,
greetings from Aernout
