by卢涛 2011年9月,《纽约时报》畅销书榜单前十位里出现一本叫Just My Type的书,而它的副标“A Book About Fonts”告诉你,这居然是一本关于字体的书!只要随便翻看一本正常点的关于字体的书,它们都会不厌其烦地从六百年前的约翰内斯·古登堡向你扯起。而这本《字体故事:西...
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《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,...
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...
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...

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.
