Modern Typography, 2nd Edition is a completely updated and revised edition of Robin Kinross's classic survey of European and North American typography since 1700, first published in 1992. In addition to numerous new illustrations and revised text, Modern Typography has been re-scaled to a new, convenient pocket format. Kinross's overview breaks ground by focusing on the history of typography as an intricate web of social, technical, and material processes, rather than a parade of typeface styles. Eye magazine calls Modern Typography the book that tells 'how modern typography got to be the way it is.' Together, Kinross's clear, concise writing combined with his extensive knowledge of the history of typography create a gold standard for how design history ought to be written.

Einleitungssatz
Modern typography? If the printing process was one of the main facilitators in the development of the modern world, then the phrase 'modern typography' may be unnecessary duplication of sense. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

This book offers an indepth look at typography and its functions. The book is one of many typography books that I own and this one is one of the better ones in my opinion. Great for students interested in learning more about photography and great for working designers or writers who may need a refresher course in type.

5.0 von 5 Sternenwell-researched historical reference27. Dezember 2007

I'm short on time, but I couldn't let this book sit another day without a review. for the typographer interested in more than just getting the job done, this is a must read. it is a readable and quite detailed survey of the history that has brought us to present-day typographic design.
