Tracing the forms, history and development of various typefaces since the development of printing in 1452, this analysis of letter form explores the vast territory of typefaces, their uses and their antecedents, from Garamond and Bembo, to the design of sans-serif letters and newspaper types.
Although called "Anatomy of a Typeface," this book actually takes about 20 classic typefaces and analyzes each, discussing its designer, history, and aesthetics in depth. This is an outstandingly thoughtful and well-researched book by a master in the field, potentially of use both to someone with a basic understanding of the topic and to an expert.
