About the Author:
"The name of Herbert Spencer, editor of The Penrose Annual, is in itself a guarantee of a thoughtful and thought-provoking approach to the problems of typography and art, and the revolution which overtook printing in the early years of this century is certainly a worthy subject for his closer examination."
- Graphis
"Nothing could be more useful than this book to focus on all the brilliant personalities that contributed to the creation of a new language in typography.... This book is a must for students of design, as it is for us professionals to evaluate the origins of modern typography before we take the next step."
- Massimo Vignelli
Herbert Spencer (1924-2002) was a typographer, graphic designer, teacher of graphic design, and art director of the Lund Humphries publishing house from 1969 to 1988. He was editor of the journal Typographia and the Penrose Annual and Professor of Graphic Arts at the Royal College of Art.
