- catalog abstract "Type & Typography provides an essential grounding for readers of all levels, from students to professionals. Typography is the mechanical notation and arrangement of language that is uesd to make multiple copies, whether by printed or electronic means. Its history in the West dates from Gutenberg's 42-line Bible of 1455, although the history of writing and alphabets goes back thousands of years. The carefully structured text, illustrated throughout, takes the reader through every aspect of the subject, from the history of language and writing systems to the invention of movable type and the evolution of the digital systems of today. It provides an overview to the bewildering variety of typefaces available, and a practical guide to using type as a meaningful element of design in all media.".
