Me gusta, aunque me gustaria que hubiera una segunda parte para hablar de una version italica y las diferencias entre fuentes para combinar y familia tipografica, tambien me gustaria que las primeras secciones se hablara más acerca de las ilusiones visuales y un ejemplo de como se ve una tipografia cuando usas una cuadricula, el maestro si hablo de no usarla, pero la verdad no me quedo claro un por que no, otro punto es que me gustara una seccion sobre como analizar una tipografia como un grupo
