Paperback. Condizione: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The following pages are intended as a simple guide to the practice and appreciation of decent letter forms. Letters are put to such a variety of uses that there can be no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes good lettering. But by common consent it may be said that a right use of the tool employed will produce beautiful forms, when once the essential shapes and proportions have been grasped. Unless frankly ornamental, or in cases where legibility is unimportant, letters should be straightforward and unobtrusive. They should look easy.Spacing and arrangement are next in importance to form. Capitals usually look best when spaced out, but small letters (being calligraphic in origin) should almost invariably be closely knit together. Straight strokes need more space between them than curves, which may almost touch.The words also if in a solid mass should be as closely spaced as possible.It should be noted that capitals in a mass, though more magnificent, are less legible than small letters. The examples given of monograms, decorated letters, and letters on a decorated ground are intended as the merest suggestions and are not meant to be exactly copied. Usually the decorated letter will be part of a larger design, and in any case must be adapted as occasion arises. Copyright © A & C Black Publishers Ltd. Codice articolo 455363
