Warren Chappell, A Short History of the Printed Word

The Elements of Typographic Style⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ Renowned typographer Robert Bringhurst brings clarity to the art of typography with this masterful work. The Elements of Typographic Style is more than a style guide. It is also a brief history of typographic art, a lucid and compact encyclopedia of typographic symbols, concepts and traditions, and a highly entertaining, richly informative tour of the technologies employed, old and new. In all, it is a thoughtful and insightful reference for everyone who works with written words. To writers, this book offers a whole new set of skills and tools for effective expression and communication. To readers, it offers a new dimension of reading: a deeper appreciation of letters and a deeper understanding of what they mean. For students and practitioners of the graphic arts, it has become, as the great typographer Hermann Zapf initially proposed, “the Typographers' Bible” and a classic in the field of graphic design and typography. Combining the practical, theoretical and historical, this edition is completely updated, with a thorough revision of the longest chapter, "Prowling the Specimen Books," and many other small but important updates based upon recent changes in this continuously evolving field. Includes several appendices: “The Working Alphabet”; “Glossary of Characters”; “Glossary of Terms”; “Type Designers”; and “Typefoundries.” Fully indexed with a substantial list of referenced books and articles. ⁣ ⁣ #graphicdesign #typography #Bringhurst #requiredreading (at University of British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXU7S6n2rt/?igshid=1pbjd1iomnsh0
