Beskrivning
Warning: this book may cause you to rethink your default typeface settings.Back to Font uncovers the secrets and lives behind 16 of the most famous typefaces. It answers all sorts of questions you might never have thought to ask before. Like: who were their 'parents' and where were they 'born'? What's pretty and interesting about them, and what isn't? How are the typefaces used (and abused), and where can you find them 'in the wild'? Most importantly, these chatty and opinionated insights will help you decide whether to kiss, marry or kill each typeface.Who knew type could provoke such controversy? (We did.)Featuring:Times New Roman / Gill Sans / Futura / Bodoni / Goudy / Baskerville / Akzidenz Grotesk /Mrs Eaves / Trajan / Novarese / Bell Centennial / Foundry Sterling / Transport /Zapf Dingbats / Univers / Papyrus
