This book is informative!,
By JB (One Cave in the Afghanistan Rain Forest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treasury of Alphabets and Lettering (Paperback)
Many years ago I borrowed this book from a research library. And in the next few days, I couldn't put it down. I found this book very informative. It opened a door to the art of calligraphy and lettering to me. This book is composed of two parts. The first of it are some articles explaining the evolution of various kinds of calligraphy and lettering crafts. The second part, examples of these artworks. If you love typography, caligraphy or fine arts as a general, you will love this book.If you are interested in the history of typography, this book can also be very helpful to you as it provides you with a firm background of very needed knowledge. I hope there will be another book like this one that stress the mechanical part of lettering. How different tools, say broad-tip pens, brushes, chisels, counterpunches, affect the shape of letters.

This review is from: Treasury of Alphabets and Lettering (Paperback)
Mr. Tschichold demonstrates good typography and critiques bad lettering in this book. I always want to know what makes a great typographer hate or love a certain typeface. You will find the answers in this book.
