Book Description

This comprehensive collection offers a thorough overview of typeface design from 1628 to the mid-20th century. Derived from a distinguished Dutch collection, a series of exquisitely designed catalogues traces the evolution of the printed letter, covering specimens in roman, italic, bold, semibold, narrow, and broad fonts. The book also includes borders, ornaments, initial letters, and other decorations, along with lithographic examples and letters created by sign writers, inscription carvers, and calligraphers.

The first part of the book covers pre-20th-century typefaces, featuring texts by editor Cees de Jong and collector Jan Tholenaar. The second part examines typeface development from 1900 to the mid-20th century and includes a historical outline by Alston W. Purvis. The featured type designers include William Caslon, Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke, Peter Behrens, Rudolf Koch, Eric Gill, Jan van Krimpen, Paul Renner, Jan Tschichold, A. M. Cassandre, Aldo Novarese, and Adrian Frutiger.
