Hardcover. 116 pages. Text in English. Clean, tight and fresh copy with minimal signs of use. The book that taught me about these things was An Atlas of Typeforms, by Alan Bartram and James Sutton. My 1968 first edition, with its little book label from Foyles in London's Charing Cross Road, is by the desk as I write this. Inside, Bartram and Sutton reproduce many historical examples, and take the reader on the journey that is the history of type, from Roman carved letterforms to Helvetica. Along the way, the book taught me a lesson about form and content. More than 40 years later I still find the design and physical production of this book an inspiration. Its key quality format is difficult to convey here. The book has the dimensions of a geography atlas: 16 × 10 inches wide. It doesn't fit on many bookshelves, but its proportions make it a thin giant. The examples and type specimens are big, but it keeps its own typography (in Univers) small and carefully restrained in grid-based white space. At the back is a four-page gatefold of specimen 10pt text settings arranged for comparison. An Atlas of Typeforms was published and printed sheet-fed offset by Lund Humphries, one of the greatest British printers of the time. The binding is immaculate. This is a book for which the writing and design have been conceived to support and enhance each other, and produced in such a way that just picking it up is an exciting physical experience. 777g.…

The book itself is set in a new Monotype face designed by Michael Harvey. …
