Professor Paul Luna’s undergraduate teaching is mainly concerned with the practice of typography. Research students under his supervision are investigating aspects of 20th century publishing and design, and the design of undergraduate textbooks. Paul Luna’s main area of research is the design of complex text, especially dictionaries, in both paper and electronic formats. Dictionary design involves the close mapping of typographic elements to underlying structure, and has particular requirements for effective typeface choice. Paul’s interests cover both the historical development of dictionary design and the ‘state of the art’, especially the relationship of typographic design to production technologies.
