From wood block to digital fonts, this work draws on the history of typefaces to produce a comprehensive survey of the field, beginning with its history in the foundry and carrying through to the most cutting edge and digital fonts being designed today. It is suitable for the designer, typographer, and the artist or aesthete.
With essays and interviews from esteemed typographers, graphic designers and artists, Font: "The Sourcebook" explores font as information, fine art, identity and historical marker, all the while charting the evolution of the typeface with pioneering fonts that have marked its history, such as Garamond, Gill Sans, Helvetica, Univers, Meta and Unit. Looking at both the iconic and the more arcane arenas where fonts come into play, the book goes on to profile some of the most innovative and important historical and contemporary typefaces currently in use, making "Font: The Sourcebook" a resource no designer, typographer, artist or aesthete will want to be without.
