Fonts Graphic Design Considered by many to be the culmination of specimen printing, it is an important, and massive volume, documenting the culture of printing, advertising, and typography in the early 20th century. Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing (leading) , and letter-spacing (tracking) , and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process. Type design is a closely related craft, sometimes considered part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. Typography also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Designer and printer: Lucas Czarnecki. Editor and printer: Kevin McFadden. Master printer: Garrett Queen. Consulting compositors: Bonnie Berstein, Richard Cappuccio, and Aurora Nichols."The first pages of this volume were printed more than a decade ago in a daunting attempt to produce a complete reference to the entire collection of the movable type available to VABC printers. "Speaking in Faces, a project begun at VABC in 2004 by Johanna Drucker with VABC artists, is a unique specimen book, a creative resource for exploring letterpress printing, typography, and the treasures of our large and unique moveable type collection. VABC holds cases of Baskerville, Bernhard, Bodoni, Caslon, Garamond, Goudy, Franklin, Kennerly, Lydian, Spartan, and Stymie faces, among a diversity of other display fonts, dingbats, and wood type. "The VABC collection (at more than 375 cases) is the largest collection of moveable type accessible to artists in Virginia; it is also among the largest collections in the Mid-Atlantic. Yet printers and artists who come to use the studio's type lack a basic resource to see printed letter forms at work and play -- no simple way to pick one face from a crowd! "Typefaces in the book will be treated as a nexus of function (letters, words, and meaning) and form (visual and artistic display) that operate in a blend of verbal and nonverbal communication, just as human faces do."
