SYNOPSIS
While writing and alphabets go back thousands of years, the history of typography is a long, rich, and unique oneŃspanning from the movable type used to set Guttenberg's 42-line Bible in 1455 to today's 21st-century computer-designed typefaces.
Type and Typography is the definitive guide for every designer who works with type and layout. Carefully structured and brimming with clear examples, it covers every aspect of typography, from a historical introduction to language, writing systems, and alphabets; following with the development of letterforms and moveable type; and finishing with the evolution of the amazing digital systems available today. In addition, you'll discover a valuable "road map" that helps you navigate among the bewildering variety of typefaces available, as well as scores of no-fail techniques for using type as a meaningful element of design and layout in all media. Plus, this comprehensive guide features a complete glossary of terms, two fascinating timelines, and much more.

* Features more current information than other books on the market, particularly in regards to digital typography
* Includes two extensive timelines, one that documents the most influential type designers and another that traces the evolution of language, writing, and printing technologies
* Typography instruction is a best-selling area
