不错的知识书,只是最好对着字体看,作者如果能把每种提到的字体都有一段就更好了 不错的知识书,只是最好对着字体看,作者如果能把每种提到的字体都有一段就更好了 不错的知识书,只是最好对着字体看,作者如果能把每种提到的字体都有一段就更好了 不错的知识书,只...
评分是通过《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...

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.
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
评分有一页提到,‘it is easier to say works than why. good type is instinct born of experience’。
评分其实是很有趣的一本书
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……
评分这本英文书读起来还是有点吃力。好多单词不懂。
