Tipos para imprenta: su historia, formas y uso es la obra fundacional de un maestro impresor que explora el arte de la tipograf�a desde los albores de la imprenta hasta el siglo XX. Por primera vez traducida al espa�ol en su versi�n �ntegra, esta edici�n recupera un cl�sico de la historia de la tipograf�a.

Rinde, adem�s, un homenaje a Daniel Berkeley Updike, fundador de la legendaria Merrymount Press, en Boston, y pionero como editor e impresor, labor en la que se interes� particularmente por la recuperaci�n hist�rica de los tipos de imprenta y su estudio.

Este primer volumen abarca el alfabeto latino, la invenci�n de la imprenta, el corte y la fundici�n de tipos, los tipos del siglo XV en Alemania, Italia, Francia, Espa�a e Inglaterra, as� como los tipos alemanes, italianos y franceses de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Al hacer un recuento del desarrollo del dise�o tipogr�fico, Updike resalta la importancia de cada periodo hist�rico y las lecciones que encierra para impresores y dise�adores tipogr�ficos actuales.

Las ilustraciones que se incluyen reproducen p�ginas cuidadosamente seleccionadas de libros raros y bellos. El texto que las acompa�a constituye un comentario continuo sobre su relevancia hist�rica y art�stica, ejemplificando el mejor trabajo de impresores y fundidores de tipos a lo largo de la historia.
