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.

評分「字談字暢」播客推薦過的書。瞭解西文字體的入門讀物。一個小亮點,是書中提到某字體名字時,都是用對應的字體打齣來的。試想下,一個完全被Helvetica支配的世界,該有多無聊啊……
評分美版的設計比較好看~ 有幸讀到...隻是字實在太多瞭...看得我頭疼

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,...
評分什么是最好喝的饮料呢?1、确实好喝 2、不会腻。那我觉得最好喝的饮料绝对是无色无味的白开水,你永远不会有吃腻的时候,你也不讨厌它。而相比其他各种味道的饮料,一开始的沉迷不会带给你永远的喜爱——万事万物,只有那些低调,平淡的事物是最最长久的。 字体也不例外,本书...

評分是通过《字谈字畅》认识的这本书和译者的,虽然之前也听闻过字节社和TIB(Type is Beautiful),但是对于字体的认识停留在衬线和非衬线和各个字体名字还有声名在外的Helvetica等几个西文字体。我想这可能也和中文的语境有关,但是无知并不能怪环境。 就像我们小时候最开始学一...
評分一开始得知这本书要出中文版还是挺高兴的,买回来两天一口气读完,发现不少低级错误:例如288页左上 302页插图旁 其他的小错误比如字体 行间距也有问题。比较讽刺,一本介绍字体和排版印刷有关的书犯排版印刷的错误。另外,本书的两位译者都不是专业翻译人士,这方面经验还是...
