Items related to Stencil Type
An invaluable collection of underappreciated stencil typography through history.
Designers often look to the past to inform their work. In this new paperback edition, design gurus Steven Heller and Louise Fili explore the variety and influence of the world’s most ubiquitous typographic style, which dates to prehistoric times and has been used on a range of surfaces, from street signs, buildings, and bridges to packaging and posters.
This expansive sourcebook presents hundreds of international examples of stencil typography from the late nineteenth through the twentieth centuries. The wonderful array of stencil types highlights surprising instances of artistry and ingenuity from a broad range of locations and objects―from military, traffic, and transportation to home decoration, mass communication, and street art. And the survey is global, drawing on design from America, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Eastern Europe.
An introduction surveys the history and applications of stencil typography, and samples of stencil type ordered by their geographic origin.

About the Author:
Review:
Steven Heller is co-chair of the MFA Design: Designer as Author program at the School of Visual Arts, New York. His many previous books include
Typographic Universe, New Modernist Type, and Scripts.
Louise Fili is director of Fili Design, a New York-based design studio specializing in typographic treatments. The recipient of the AIGA Medal in 2014, she is the coauthor with Steven Heller of Scripts.
“If Stencil Type makes any kind of case it’s that a simple approach is best for stencils, yielding a more pleasing and stylish result than attempts at overly elaborate letterforms.”

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Low-cost and mass-producible, stencil type is the world's most universally used style, seen on everything from bridges to bags, from street signs to packaging. And because they are an affordable means of mass communication, stencils are often employed by populist, rebellious and street-art movements.Hundreds of international examples, chosen from the late 19th century to the 20th, are brought together in a compact package that will provide endless inspiration for typographical ideas. Packed with examples from a broad range of locations and objects - construction hoardings, footlockers, wine barrels, shipping containers and so much more - Stencil Type represents a unique and highly curated choice based on decades of graphic-design experience and knowledge.This is a companion to the cult typography volumes Scripts and Shadow Type, perennial favourites among designers looking for fresh and unexpected ideas in historical type. Steven Heller and Louise Fili present a compilation of sixty years of stencil type and reveal why the primitive style still reigns. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780500291900
