5.0 out of 5 stars The best book if you are involved with type & typograhy, 4 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Fred Smeijers revails a whole new theory about how punchcutters operated in 'the lead age'. That this is of use to a modern, digital typeface-designer may surprise a lot of people, but if you read this book, you'll know it. Brilliantly illustrated by Fred himself, and the typeface used, the 'Renard', has all the potency to beat a lot of so called 'serious serifs'. He may seem very direct in his choise of words, but perhaps its because he is right!? Read and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for students and type designers, 25 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I was surprised by Mr. Smeijers ability to speak volumes of relevance about the digital era. As a student interested in typography and type design I was enthralled. I couldn't put it down.

This book is a must read.
