SCRIPTS is a staggering visual resource, collecting examples of cursive and other typefaces that resemble handwriting from the 19th- and 20th-centuries. From wrapping paper to tobacco packaging, café signs to type foundry specimen pages, SCRIPTS presents an eclectic feast of fonts that will inspire and entertain graphic designers and retro aficionados alike. The book is divided into chapters by country, and each location is introduced with an enriching essay on the history of its particular script fonts. Detailed captions follow each section, allowing textual styles to be traced back to a specific time, place, or page.
Klappentext zu „Scripts “
From wedding announcements to IOUs, there are hundreds perhaps thousands of scripts, some classic, others eccentric. Derived from handwriting, these are typefaces that are stylized to suggest, imply or symbolize certain traits linked to writing. Drawn from the Golden Age of scripts, from the 19th to the mid-20th century, this is the first compilation of popular, rare and forgotten scripts from Britain, Italy, France, Germany and the USA. Filled with examples from a broad spectrum of sources advertising, street signs, invitations, type-specimen books, personal letters this collection from esteemed art director Steven Heller is a delightful trove of long-overlooked material, and will be an invaluable sourcebook for anyone with an interest in graphic design.
