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.
Simon Garfield is the author of twelve acclaimed books of nonfiction. He lives in London and St. Ives, Cornwall, and currently has a soft spot for Requiem Fine Roman and HT Gelateria.
Chip Kidd is associate art director for Alfred A. Knopf, where his jacket designs have revolutionized the art of American book packaging. He is the author of numerous books, including The Cheese Monkeys.
「字谈字畅」播客推荐过的书。了解西文字体的入门读物。一个小亮点,是书中提到某字体名字时,都是用对应的字体打出来的。试想下,一个完全被Helvetica支配的世界,该有多无聊啊……

评分这是一部讲述与电脑字体设计相关趣闻的科普类书籍,坦白说,与我的知识结构关系不大,所以我只是跳着读完,没有像大狗熊(我最近比较喜爱的一个科技类博客‘狗熊有话说’的博主)那么的仔细品读。不过,偶尔涉及一下新东西,感觉还是很别致的。 以前,我并不会十分注意字体,这...
评分每个人自有一个故事,承载着我们思想的文字的不例外。 《字体故事》给我印象最深刻的是里面的文字混用,是我看过的书里面最丰富的(毕竟是一本关于字体的书籍),在正文中使用与介绍的字体相同的字体,形象地描绘了该字体的式样,书的内容因此生动起来。让我感受到与之前看过...
