评分当苹果iOS系统升级到9的时候,很多人发朋友圈说:“苹果的新的无衬线字体真是漂亮啊。” 来看真正的无衬线字体的定义: “去除字母头尾处的阴影部分(衬线)就成为无衬线字体” 这也意味着,汉字的字体里,并没有所谓的“无衬线字体”。衬线和无衬线只能专指英文字体。 立即...
评分在火车上,我看完了这本《字体故事—— 西文字体的美丽传奇》 书中介绍的很多字体,我闻所未闻,或者有些字体我见过却视如不见,毕竟,我接触西文字体的机会不多,偶尔用的字体无非只有Times New Roman和Arial(标示数字)而已,但通过阅读这本近400页的书籍,对于西方字体的发...

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.
蛮有趣的。看了这本书后,恭喜你,你成功患上字体强迫症了。

评分美版的设计比较好看~ 有幸读到...只是字实在太多了...看得我头疼
评分「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……
