DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn addition to examining the form and anatomy of every letter in the alphabet, punctuation marks and special characters, the book examines over 150 typefaces, their origins, and font characteristics, visually explained by full page tables including scale, weight, and useful alternatives. Cross-references allow typefaces to exist in a broader visual culture context, comparing important designs with seminal artpieces and movements, from Gutenbergrsquo;s era to today. Special attention is also given to the aesthetics of the digital age and the choice of the right typeface for a job. Rounding out the guide are an in-depth comparison between sans-serif and serif typefaces, an essay about measuring systems and indications, advice about typographic rules, plus a manual for developing digital fonts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJust My Type is not just a font book, but a book of stories. About how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. About why Barack Obama opted for Gotham, while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco. About the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook, or Margaret Calvert, who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi. About the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and were loaded onto computers ... and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the Sunday Times review put it, the book is 'a kind of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for letters, revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live.' This edition is available with both black and silver covers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe alphabet is the message. With these special effects and topical alphabets, you can advertise or identify a product or service in lettering that reinforces your message. For example: letters shaped like chopsticks; letters made up of logs; letters made up of bones; letters frozen in ice; letters with stars and stripes. These are just a few of the alphabets you can use from the 100 fonts selected by Dan X. Solo from the Solotype Typographers Catalog. All the fonts appear in upper case, while many also have lower case and/or numerals. Whether your message is about the Fourth of July, cool refreshment, outdoor life, modern technology, summer, spring, winter, or a hundred other moods and occasions, you'll find in this collection an alphabet that tells the story. The typographic designs may be sophisticated or naïve, but all are eminently useful and difficult to find in usual sources.
