Inhaltsangabe

Glyph is a look into the representations of marks and glyphs in the Latin alphabet. From & to } to *, each mark has a brief explanation of its use and history, and a grid of its most interesting typographic variations. Who knew, for example, that the ampersand was once a letter in the alphabet?!

A strikingly designed and packaged book featuring hard-cut greyboard edges and liberal use of neon throughout, this book will be of great appeal to linguists, typographers and design-afficionados alike.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This beautiful little book offers a typographic exploration of the punctuation marks, symbols and textual indicators that serve as the silent ‘fringes’ of our language. So often overlooked, the fascinating history of each one is explored – from the humble ellipsis to the exuberant exclamation mark. Elegant grids of their most interesting graphic representations will appeal to typographers and design-aficionados. Gorgeously designed with a cut greyboard cover and neon printing.
