About this title

Synopsis

The secret to making beautiful numbers that blend seamlessly with your letterforms is attention to detail. The Uncommon Numbers Manual, designed as a companion piece to Uncommon A Source Book for Artists, offers the kind of in-depth analysis of numerals that has traditionally been reserved for letterforms in the study of calligraphy. The writing styles covered Uncial by Sheila Waters; Blackletter by Ward Dunham; Italic by Alice Koeth; Copperplate by Georgina Artigas; Foundational Variation by Cheryl Adams; Neuland by Carl Rohrs; Pointed Pen Uncial by Michael Kecseg; and Designing with Italic Letters and Numbers by Julian Waters. The contributing artists begin each chapter with a discussion of the hand's general characteristics, followed by exemplars and detailed instructional notes on each numeral. Every chapter also includes extremely useful information and fine points that have broad applications in lettering beyond the subject of numerals.
