Printing Types, Their History, Forms, and Use, Vol. 2: A Study in Survivals (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book explores the history of printing types, uncovering the stories of the designers and foundries that shaped their development. Beginning with early movable type, this book traces how the art form evolved from the fifteenth century into the mechanical age. Along this journey, the author sheds light on the technical processes and artistic influences that led to the creation of some of the most famous fonts in the Western world, as well as the challenges overcome by printers in their relentless pursuit of typographic excellence across centuries. By weaving together historical context, technical knowledge, and the narratives of key individuals, the author presents a fresh perspective on the fascinating tale of printing types, revealing how these seemingly simple tools have played a central role in the dissemination of knowledge, the development of literacy, and the evolution of human communication.
