| Buch | von Stephanie de Jong und Ralf de Jong |  | | Beschreibung | Manche Leute sind mit einer einzigen Schrift allen Lebens- und Lesenszeichen gewachsen, andere finden auch unter Zigtausenden von Typen nicht immer die passende. Zwischen diesen beiden Extremen steht die große Menge der Grafik-Designer, die sich nach Orientierung und Entscheidungshilfe sehnt. Für all diese erscheint im Verlag Hermann Schmidt Mainz das Buch „Schriftwechsel”. Auf mehr als 300 Seiten stellen Ralf und Stefanie de Jong fünfzig Lieblings-Textschriften ausführlich und weitere 200 Schriften im Vergleich dar. Dabei sind die Kriterien hinter diesen Favoriten keineswegs subjektiv - die nicht unpopuläre Behauptung: Die passende Schrift müsse man fühlen, das sei kaum zu begreifen und nicht zu begründen, halten die beiden Kreativen für einen ausgewachsenen Irrtum. Vielmehr haben Stefanie und Ralf de Jong nach Kriterien wie Lesekomfort und Lesbarkeit, nach technischen Aspekten wie Rasterung und Formaten, nach Kosten und Service sowie Internationalität neue und alte Schriften herausgefiltert. „Schriftwechsel„ ist kein Marketingtool, sondern eine Entscheidungsschule, ein Wegweiser, der sowohl formale als auch ökonomische Kriterien der Schriftwahl vermittelt und das Zeug hat, zu einem Designer-Must-have zu werden. |

| Buch | von Christopher Burke |  | | Beschreibung | Jan Tschichold (1902–1974) is considered by many to be the most influential typographer of the twentieth century. A leading voice of the modernist movement, Tschichold oversaw the redesign of the Penguin and Pelican paperbacks in the late 1940s and devised for them a standardized set of typographic rules. The classical type designs of his late career qualify him as perhaps the first typographic postmodernist. Active Literature, an in-depth study of Jan Tschichold’s modernist period, is based on extensive archival research that uncovered a wealth of new photographs of his design work. Author Christopher Burke presents a full portrait of the designer’s career and puts into context Tschichold’s own account of his life and work. |

| Buch | von Michael Harvey |  | | Beschreibung | Creative Lettering Today brings together between its covers a quartet of lettering arts: drawing, calligraphy, carving, and digital lettering. Michael Harvey, an English lettering designer and teacher who has taught often in the Untied States, was already a calligrapher, carver, and type designer, used to drawing every character of a font, when he was commissioned by Adobe Systems to design a typeface. So Harvey moved from the world of hand craftsmanship to that of high technology, and in Creative Lettering Today he demonstrates the full range of techniques - manual and digital - open to those who wish to explore lettering design. Harvey addresses all those who for whatever reason wish to pick up pencil, pen, brush, chisel, or mouse, providing the ideal introduction to the lettering arts. |

| Buch | (Deutsch) von Paul Renner |  | | Beschreibung | Paul Renner, the designer of the world famous Futura typeface, was also an accomplished artist, typesetter, and professor. In 1940, he published his typographic theories in a book of his own. This reprint of the original contains typesetting and design tips that are still relevant in today’s digital desktop publishing world, as well as over 70 pages of typographic terms, definitions, and old type samples, creating a peak into what was typographically “in” during the first half of the 20th Century! In addition to being a beautifully designed textbook in its own right, this book shows just how well Futura can be used as a normal text face – the whole book, naturally, was set with it. |

| Buch | von Victor Malsy and Lars Müller |  | | Beschreibung | Pünktlich zur Frankfurter Buchmesse 2007 wurde dieses Buch über eine berühmte Schrift veröffentlicht.
Die 1957 geschaffene Helvetica ist Sinnbild für Schweizer Grafikdesign, das seinerseits das Modell für die nüchtern funktionelle Kommunikation der Nachkriegszeit war. Das ausgewogene und neutrale Aussehen von Helvetica überwiegt die Ausdruckskraft – eine Eigenschaft, wegen der das Design sowohl kritisiert als auch bewundert wird. Aufgrund seiner Unverwechselbarkeit erlangte der Font jedoch unschlagbare Popularität.
Helvetica ist heute eine der am häufigsten verwendeten Schriften. Helvetica forever verfolgt die 50-jährige Geschichte des Fonts zurück, vergleicht ihn mit anderen bekannten serifenlosen Schriften aus dem 20. Jahrhundert und analysiert das Phänomen seiner enormen Verbreitung. Die Illustrationen im Buch zeigen die Vielfalt, mit der die Schriftfamilie in den vergangenen fünf Jahrzehnten verwendet wurde, mit Beispielen aus verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen, vom Hinweisschild bis hin zu Party-Flyern! |

| Buch | von John D. Berry |  | | Beschreibung | Language Culture Type grew out of the first international type-design competition, the 2001 bukva:raz!, whose goal was to promote global cultural pluralism, interaction, and diversity in typographic communications. The book lavishly presents the winning entries, along with information about each typeface, its language, and its designer. A series of essays gives context for the interplay of types and languages in the world today – including the attempt to mesh all existing scripts into a single digital encoding system called Unicode. It also delves into the specific issues around developing typefaces for the many linguistic cultures in the world, from the various Cyrillic letterforms to Vietnam’s ancient ideographic script. |

| Buch | (Deutsch) von Martina Fineder, Eva Kraus und Andreas Pawlik |  | | Beschreibung | Since the mid-1980s, technological developments such as the PostScript language have allowed everyday graphic designers to develop their own fonts, which they could then distribute on their own, alongside the established type foundries. This book covers the diverse history of type design during the PostScript era in German-speaking countries. Over 70 fonts are described, ranging from revised classics and vernacular interpretations to new experimental solutions for typographic communications. Accompanying this excellent visual selection are texts by the editors and essays from Robin Kinross and Walter Pamminger. This book is the companion to an exhibition that was organized by the Künstlerhaus museum in Vienna in 2002. All text is in German. |
