Historical paintings, engravings, and photographs give a visual context to the different eras of type design and print, and key typefaces from each historical era are discussed and compared to others of the era. The original use of each typeface is pictured alongside contemporary examples, providing a broad sense of the character of each face. Sidebars explain how to use individual typefaces, warn of pitfalls, and highlight the particular benefits of using the face. A superb and engaging introduction to the world of typography, the book is also a vital reference for anyone who works with type and knows that understanding the history of letterforms is key to using type creatively and effectively.</div> 855734 24 5 2006 From Gutenberg to OpenType: An Illustrated History of Type from the Earliest Letterforms to the Latest Digital Fonts total:5|4:2|3:3| 5 17 8 1 3 0 false false Wed Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Feb 11 20:09:54 -0800 2009 Wed Aug 26 09:18:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 14:49:27 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 14:49:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 08:23:35 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 08:23:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 21:42:11 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 21:42:25 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 08 08:54:25 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 08:54:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 20 00:38:40 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 00:38:40 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 23 21:59:43 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 21:59:49 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun May 13 07:16:39 -0700 2007 Sat May 26 00:19:38 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=870362
