This book is needed for students majoring in Graphic Design in the Introduction to Typography course. This book uses more pictures and tutorials to make it easier for students to understand. This research aims to design an illustrated typography book to make it easier for students to study and understand the Introduction to Typography course. The material in this book is about letter families, letter anatomy, letter types, and others. This research uses a qualitative method, with a descriptive observation research model through literature study to understand the process of designing a typography book. The stages carried out are conducting research, collecting data, collecting literature related to research, designing the contents of the book, and designing images and tutorials, which will be adapted to the Introduction to Typography course. The results of this research are a book measuring 15.5 × 20 cm, 190 pages, and 20 chapters.
