Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the fascinating world of printing types, exploring their history, forms, and use. The author delves into the origins of printing, examining the invention of movable metal types and the crucial role of Gutenberg in perfecting the process. We learn how early printers, in their quest to emulate the beauty of handwritten manuscripts, inadvertently influenced the development of typographic forms. Through detailed analysis of manuscript styles and their impact on type design, the author reveals how the pursuit of realism led to a rich diversity of letterforms that would endure for centuries. We are introduced to the world of type cutting and casting, gaining insights into the techniques used to create individual characters, from the early hand-moulds to the punch-cutting machines of a later era. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of type design, tracing its development across different regions and time periods. We encounter the distinct characteristics of early German, Italian, French, and English types, each reflecting the artistic sensibilities of its era. The book illuminates the interplay between typography and other art forms, suggesting that type design, like furniture or architecture, often mirrored the prevailing aesthetic trends of the time. By engaging with the monumental characters of early typography, readers gain a fresh perspective on the typographic landscape of today, appreciating the evolution of printing as a sophisticated art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
