Synopsis
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.

Excellent content, but I wish the overall size was larger
27. September 2010
This is a niggle based on my own aging requirements; while the book's content is excellent and as a historical reference to the development and usage of type it's very, VERY good, the overall size of the book make the type size used difficult for me to read even with glasses. It's not a lay-flat binding, either, so the occasional two-page spread is all but destroyed. I'm glad I bought it but I would have wished for better binding and a larger size overall.
Beyond that, the content is well worth the purchase price if you are a graphic designer or just obsessed with typography (and I am both); from hieroglyphs to Illustrator, the theory and history of type design and those who design them is well represented. If you enjoy type, this will find its way onto your bookshelf. I just wish the publisher had taken some of the principles to heart and printed the book larger :-)

Amazing Book
17. Januar 2010
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Honestly, I recommend this book to anyone who has a slight interest in Typography. Tells the whole history of typography and has great quality pictures, I loved the insights on different contemporary designers. Just stop wondering and buy it. This is one of my most treasured books in my library.
Your guide to understanding typography

This isn't too much different from other Typography history/informational books I've read, other than it has those added short stories. Also, not as much color/pictures for inspiration as I had hoped. Overall, I like collecting typography books, just if I were to have seen these in person, I would have probably stayed with The Complete Typographer.
