About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 1992. Hardcover. Good/Good (light foxing on block edges and dust jacket). Red boards with black lettering on spine, color illustrated dust jacket, 256 pp, 395 illustrations with 265 in color. "Type design has held a position of paramount importance in all aspects of graphic design, and has had a profound influence on the way our environment looks today. Twentieth-Century Type is devoted specifically to this aspect of graphics, and its spectacular development over the last hundred years. This century began with a dynamic tension between the new technology and old craft traditions - a tension still in evidence, although now manifested in developments such as electronic typesetting and graphic design on computer." - from dustjacket.
