Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the essential art of type display, a crucial element of printing that has often been overlooked in traditional discussions of typography. It examines the historical development of display from its origins in manuscript writing to its evolution in the printed world. The author argues that the principles of display, which rely on the careful arrangement of typefaces, size, and white space, are grounded in logic and reason, not mere whimsy. The book challenges the assumption that type display is solely about decorative embellishment. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of display as a powerful tool for interpretation and attracting attention. This perspective aligns with the broader shift towards a more intentional and deliberate approach to communication that emerged during the early 20th century. The author meticulously explores the fundamental principles of display, including contrast, subordination, and emphasis. He reveals how these principles can be used to guide the reader's eye and make printed material clearer, more concise, and engaging. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the art and science of type display, demonstrating its crucial role in effectively conveying ideas and captivating audiences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332059928_0
