Includes indexes.
Here is a selection of today's most beautiful and exciting type-faces, introduced by the designers and publishers themselves. From electro-type pioneers Emigre to renegades (T-26) in the USA, from the experimentation of Holland's LettError to Typomatic in London, there is a new-media world of typographic possibilities in Emotional Digital.
A wide range of fonts devised by international graphic design companies is stylishly presented in full-color spreads. Each short profile includes information on where and when the company originated, awards won, and particular themes and characteristics of their work. Some of the designers themselves, including Erik Spiekermann, Suzanna Licko, and Michael Horsham of Tomato, have contributed essays that examine how they have influenced the world of graphic design and advertising, and demonstrate the diverse opportunities for digital type design. Contemporary type designs are illustrated in the context of their first use, showing their importance to the message itself.
Emotional Digital is an essential book for students and practitioners of typography and graphics and a great resource for anyone working in the field of design.
