Just My Type


Book Description

Just My Type is not just a font book, but a book of stories. About how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. About why Barack Obama opted for Gotham, while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco. About the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook, or Margaret Calvert, who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi. About the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and were loaded onto computers ... and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the Sunday Times review put it, the book is 'a kind of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for letters, revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live.' This edition is available with both black and silver covers.




The Font Engineering Platform


Book Description

Creating fonts is a complex task that requires expert knowledge in a variety of domains. Often, this knowledge is not held by a single person, but spread across a number of domain experts. A central concept needed for designing fonts is the glyph, an elemental symbol representing a readable character. Required domains include designing glyph shapes, engineering rules to combine glyphs for complex scripts and checking legibility. This process is most often iterative and requires communication in all directions. This report outlines a platform that aims to enhance the means of communication, describes our prototyping process, discusses complex font rendering and editing in a live environment and an approach to generate code based on a user’s live-edits. Die Erstellung von Schriften ist eine komplexe Aufgabe, die Expertenwissen aus einer Vielzahl von Bereichen erfordert. Oftmals liegt dieses Wissen nicht bei einer einzigen Person, sondern bei einer Reihe von Fachleuten. Ein zentrales Konzept für die Gestaltung von Schriften ist der Glyph, ein elementares Symbol, das ein einzelnes lesbares Zeichen darstellt. Zu den erforderlichen Domänen gehören das Entwerfen der Glyphenformen, technische Regeln zur Kombination von Glyphen für komplexe Skripte und das Prüfen der Lesbarkeit. Dieser Prozess ist meist iterativ und erfordert ständige Kommunikation zwischen den Experten. Dieser Bericht skizziert eine Plattform, die darauf abzielt, die Kommunikationswege zu verbessern, beschreibt unseren Prototyping-Prozess, diskutiert komplexe Schriftrendering und -bearbeitung in einer Echtzeitumgebung und einen Ansatz zur Generierung von Code basierend auf direkter Manipulation eines Nutzers.

Removable Type


Book Description

In 1663, the Puritan missionary John Eliot, with the help of a Nipmuck convert whom the English called James Printer, produced the first Bible printed in North America. It was printed not in English but in Algonquian, making it one of the first books printed in a Native language. In this ambitious and multidisciplinary work, Phillip Round examines the relationship between Native Americans and printed books over a two-hundred-year period, uncovering the individual, communal, regional, and political contexts for Native peoples' use of the printed word. From the northeastern woodlands to the Great Plains, Round argues, alphabetic literacy and printed books mattered greatly in the emergent, transitional cultural formations of indigenous nations threatened by European imperialism. Removable Type showcases the varied ways that Native peoples produced and utilized printed texts over time, approaching them as both opportunity and threat. Surveying this rich history, Round addresses such issues as the role of white missionaries and Christian texts in the dissemination of print culture in Indian Country, the establishment of "national" publishing houses by tribes, the production and consumption of bilingual texts, the importance of copyright in establishing Native intellectual sovereignty (and the sometimes corrosive effects of reprinting thereon), and the significance of illustrations.
