This chunky volume makes a nice coffee-table book for type nuts, but there are a few flies in the ointment that make you wonder about the quality of the copy-edit. For example, the page profiling the Lucida font repeatedly refers to its co-designer Kris Holmes as "he" (which she isn't) and spells Ed Benguiat's name incorrectly. The idea of setting each font's profile in that font itself works nicely for some of the text faces, but not at all for some display types: the blurb for Atomatic, for example, explicitly says "Linotype Atomatic is intended exclusively for headlines in large point sizes." Why did you set a whole page of body text in it then? Also, some of the font profiles do sound like they've been pasted straight from the foundry's marketing page; a feeling enhanced by the fact that the appendix "Useful Websites" lists the URLs only of font vendors, but not more generically-useful sites such as typophile.com. These quibbles aside, it's nicely put together, as you'd expect from Thames & Hudson, and the essays at the front are interesting enough. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The digital era has entirely transformed the world of typography. This elegant and easy-to-use book provides a comprehensively illustrated record of developments in the field, clearly setting them in their historical context and forming an essential reference for graphic designers everywhere.Creative Type begins with three essays that address issues such as the impact of the digital era on typography and the ways in which contemporary designers are harnessing the typefaces of the past to satisfy the needs of the present. The book goes on to illustrate thirty-four modern classic typefaces produced between 1985 and 2004, accompanied by comments from each font's designer. A section devoted to the great historic typefaces, from Garamond, created in 1543, to Akzidenz Grotesk, designed by Gunter Gerhard Lange in 1969, completes the volume.
