Hardcover. Die Schriftmischung ist eine der grossen Herausforderungen und gleichzeitig ein steter Reiz fuer Typografen und Gestalter: Soll sie opulent, nur begrenzt oder am besten gar nicht stattfinden? Welche Schriften harmonieren miteinander, welche nicht? Welche ergaenzen sich, lassen sich gar gegenseitig steigern? Die Fachliteratur bietet da wenig Hilfestellung. Dieses Handbuch zeigt, dass sich fuer das Mischen von Schriften Kriterien bestimmen lassen. Es vermittelt durch das detaillierte Betrachten der Schriftgestalt und eine erneuerte Schriftklassifikation ein vertieftes Verstaendnis fuer die Vielfalt an Schriftformen und erarbeitet durch die systematische Analyse von Analogie und Kontrast die dringend benoetigten Erkenntnisse zum Kombinieren von Schriften. Ein unverzichtbares Standardwerk fuer Typografen und Grafikdesigner. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Combining typefaces is one of the great challenges and, at the same time, a continuing allure for typographers and designers: is it meant to be extravagant or should it only be carried out to a limited degree or, ideally, not at all? Which fonts harmonize with each other, and which don’t? Which ones complement each other or even enhance each other? There are few answers to be found in the professional literature.
This handbook demonstrates that it is possible to determine criteria for the combining of typefaces. By looking at the shape of typefaces in detail and creating a revised classification of fonts, it conveys a deeper understanding of the diversity of typefaces and, based on a systematic analysis of analogy and contrast, it establishes the urgently necessary findings required for combining typefaces. An indispensable standard work for typographers and graphic designers.
