Synopsis
An illuminating account of the design inspirations and technical transformations that have shaped the digital typefaces of the 21st century, An illuminating account of the design inspirations and technical transformations that have shaped the digital typefaces of the 21st century In this fascinating tour through typographic history, Paul Shaw provides a visually rich exploration of digital type revival. Many typefaces from the pre-digital past have been reinvented for use on computers and mobile devices, while other new font designs are revivals of letterforms, drawn from inscriptions, calligraphic manuals, posters, and book jackets. Revival Type deftly introduces these fonts, many of which are widely used, and engagingly tells their stories. Examples include translations of letterforms not previously used as type, direct revivals of metal and wood typefaces, and looser interpretations of older fonts. Among these are variations on classic designs by John Baskerville, Giambattista Bodoni, William Caslon, Firmin Didot, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon, and Nicolas Jenson, as well as typefaces inspired by less familiar designers, including Richard Austin, Philippe Grandjean, and Eudald Pradell. Updates and revisions of 20th-century classics such as Palatino, Meridien, DIN, Metro, and Neue Haas Grotesk (Helvetica) are also discussed. Handsomely illustrated with annotated examples, archival material depicting classic designs, and full character sets of modern typefaces, Revival Type is an essential introduction for designers and design enthusiasts into the process of reinterpreting historical type., In this fascinating tour through typographic history, Paul Shaw provides a visually rich exploration of digital type revival.

- e***i (913)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent seller and experience as always! All of the books I ordered were exactly as described, They were also promptly shipped and arrived quickly, too. I appreciated that there was a layer of bubble wrapped around all of the books in the box to help prevent any damage in transit. I would certainly recommend this seller. Thank you very much!

It was packaged securely to prevent any damage. And the price including the shipping charge was an excellent value! Highly recommended seller!
- e***e (1556)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI always research sellers before buying, and I noticed most of this seller’s negative feedback stems from not offering combined shipping...despite providing a clear and reasonable explanation in their listings. I purchased two $19.99 TPBs for just $12.70 total (only $1.00 each!), and considering eBay charges sellers fees on shipping too, I think the shipping costs were more than fair. That’s basically 70% off MSRP. The condition was accurate, and shipping was fast. Thanks again!
