For The Love of Letters A history of fonts and graphic styles from
1628 to 1938 This comprehensive book 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 trace the evolution of the printed letter via specimens
in roman, italic, bold, semibold, narrow, and broad fonts. Borders,
ornaments, initial letters, and decorations are also included,
along with lithographic examples, letters by sign writers,
inscription carvers, and calligraphers. The first part of the book
covers pre-20th century typeface, with texts by editor Cees de Jong
and collector Jan Tholenaar. The second part covers the period from
1900 to the mid-20th century, and contains a historical outline by
Alston W. Purvis. 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.
