A portrait Edward R. Tufte, godfather of charts. Art by Fred Guth and MidJourney.

Welcome

The Tufte-Quarto project is an homage to Edward Tufte. It simplifies the production of books using a layout that resembles his books(Edward R. Tufte 2001; Edward R. Tufte, Goeler, and Benson 1990; Edward R. Tufte et al. 1998) with a companion website. The goal is for the book and website share the same aesthetics.
