• catalog abstract ""This iconoclastic collection of essays on typography, writing and life is the work of master calligrapher, type designer, and teacher of lettering and design, Gerrit Noordzij. It forms an important contribution to the literature of type. Noordzij is also a type historian and theorist of lettering. His students constitute the Dutch School, which is now a dominant force in European type design." "Letterletter was originally a series of 15 issues of a journal published sporadically and distributed to a select few. As Robert Bringhurst notes in his introduction, the middle two pages of the first four-page issue of Letterletter held "more information on the structure and nature of letterforms than most professional typographers then working had ever seen in their lives."" "Letterletter described itself as a journal of typographic metaphysics. It was also "a journal of typographic anatomy, typographic optics, and typographic geometry." Brilliantly written, often unexpected, and always fascinating, these letters open up new perspectives on the "science of art and the art of science."" "Letterletter will be an invaluable design tool and a pleasure to read and reread for all those who care about the written word."--Jacket.".
