Sinopsis

The authors also provide an introduction, including notes on the technical and visual development of typefaces, a comprehensive "family tree" of types related to their historical models, and a long illustrated essay in which many examples of widely various typographic problems and their solutions (all of relevance to today's book designers) are discussed. The book itself is set in a new Monotype face designed by Michael Harvey. Alan Bartram is a book designer and author of several books on lettering and type, the most recent being "The English Lettering Tradition". James Sutton is a graphic designer.
