A hugely entertaining and revealing guide to the history of type that asks, What does your favorite font say about you?

Fonts surround us every day, on street signs and buildings, on movie posters and books, and on just about every product we buy. But where do fonts come from, and why do we need so many? Who is responsible for the staid practicality of Times New Roman, the cool anonymity of Arial, or the irritating levity of Comic Sans (and the movement to ban it)?

Typefaces are now 560 years old, but we barely knew their names until about twenty years ago when the pull-down font menus on our first computers made us all the gods of type. Beginning in the early days of Gutenberg and ending with the most adventurous digital fonts, Simon Garfield explores the rich history and subtle powers of type. He goes on to investigate a range of modern mysteries, including how Helvetica took over the world, what inspires the seeming ubiquitous use of Trajan on bad movie posters, and exactly why the all-type cover of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus was so effective. It also examines why the "T" in the Beatles logo is longer than the other letters and how Gotham helped Barack Obama into the White House. A must-have book for the design conscious, Just My Type's cheeky irreverence will also charm everyone who loved Eats, Shoots & Leaves and Schott's Original Miscellany.

在《机械复制时代的艺术作品》中,本雅明提到,早在文字能够印刷之前,木刻技术已经实现了对版画等艺术作品的复制,而后石印术和摄影术又分别二度改变了文献和形象复制领域的面貌。里头最著名的一个论述是,当现代工业技术可以轻而易举地进行制模、影印、刷版等流程操作之后,...

当苹果iOS系统升级到9的时候,很多人发朋友圈说:“苹果的新的无衬线字体真是漂亮啊。” 来看真正的无衬线字体的定义: “去除字母头尾处的阴影部分(衬线)就成为无衬线字体” 这也意味着,汉字的字体里,并没有所谓的“无衬线字体”。衬线和无衬线只能专指英文字体。 立即...
