Review
--Contract Design, May 1997
In Deco Type: Stylish Alphabets from the '20s and '30s, designers Steven Heller and Louise Fili have drawn up a lush anthology of typefaces in vintage specimen sheets and commercial design artifacts from Germany, France, Japan, Holland, Italy, Russia and Eastern Europe as well as the United States, showing how far reaching Art Deco was. As the authors note, "Type defined the Art Deco exuberance of the twenties and thirties as much as cubistic fashions, streamline furniture, setback skyscrapers, and luxury ocean liners." Deco type was born of the need to be modern, and if its creators fell short of the goal, today's designers will still find them fascinating -- and useful.
