Unfortunately from reading the first couple of chapters it seems like this textbook doesn't do an excellent job of favoring graphics over formula. It's acceptable but really nothing stellar. I don't think it does the title of 'Applied Category Theory' justice. It is still very much theoretical.

Conveying intuition is about way more than using graphics. It's about storytelling. I've seen people focus on graphics and fail in a hundred ways, while overwhelming theoretical works shine due to the focus on the narrative.
