Аннотация:
Typography remains the bedrock of graphic design and, while the art of lettering is evolving, contemporary designers still look to the past for inspiration. New Vintage Type is a critical survey of how modern artwork uses old type to evoke another time and place. Organized by period, the book features hundreds of lively examples that prove that our type heritage has a place in the colourful graphic world of today: Victorian, Woodtype, Art Deco, Modern Movement, Eccentric Movement … Each section features a brief essay, introducing historical features of the typefaces and considering what attributes make them relevant for a range of contemporary situations. Steven Heller and Gail Anderson’s insightful and entertaining texts and inspirational graphic frames make this the ultimate visual inspiration for students, practitioners and typophiles.
