5.0 out of 5 stars Great work on history and design of typefaces, 22 Aug 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Anatomy of a Typeface (Paperback)
Although called "Anatomy of a Typeface," this book actually takes about 20 classic typefaces and analyzes each, discussing its designer, history, and aesthetics in depth. This is an outstandingly thoughtful and well-researched book by a master in the field, potentially of use both to someone with a basic understanding of the topic and to an expert.
