DAVID PANKOW: HEAD, MELBERT B. CARY JR. GRAPHIC ARTS COLLECTION, ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY If there is any doubt that type design is one of the "lively arts," one has only to turn to "On Type", a regularly appearing feature in Fine Print magazine. For those of us who must frequently assemble from meagre or obscure resources what information there is on the history or development of a particular typeface, the On Type essays have been immensely useful, though awkward to get at. With the publication of this anthology, that last impediment has been removed and these essays, remarkably wide ranging in their scope, are now all together in one fascinating volume. No one connected with the study of type will want to be without it, not even excluding the faithful subscribers to Fine Print.
MICHAEL SHERIDAN, VICE-PRESIDENT, FOLIO, INC. The serious user of the new desktop publishing systems will find in this book information ignored by the slick and superficial desktop publishing magazines: what makes for a good typeface? which are the best typefaces? what are the possibilities, and limitations, of computers in type design? I strongly recommend it. -- Publisher Comments
