Uncommon Numbers II: A Source Book for Calligraphers and Graphic Artists

by Brenda Casey Zoby (Editor)

Numbers surround us in modern life, and a lettering artist's or graphic dersigner's depiction of those symbols is limited only by the imagination. The purpose of this anthology of calligraphic numerals is to offer for study and inspiration a wide range of styles, techniques, and lettering artists not represented in the first volume of Uncommon Numbers, published in 1996. This new volume contains both traditional and contemporary work by 34 of the best calligraphic artists in the world. It showcases numerals that have been written (with broad-edge pen, pointed pen, or brush), drawn, carved in stone, cast in bronze, and computer generated. As a bonus, the Contributing Artists List serves as an up-to-date guide to the website addresses of renowned calligraphic artists from eight countries, making their online galleries available to the reader.
