Digital tools may have allowed designer new power and flexibility, but typography remains the bedrock of good graphics — and one of the most exciting areas of experimentation. Taking an informed look at the remarkable creations of thirty-seven internationally recognized figures, this is the first thematic and critical overview of the most influential designers and the often unpublished original works that lead to their typefaces. This is the essential book for professionals, students and anyone interested in typography, graphic design, visual culture and design history.
So, yeah. Nice enough to leave through. I cba to read too much of the text, and the images were interesting enough for typography fans.
