Fonts samples

“Fonts samples” is a collection of excellent font examples, compiled by Jan Chichold, a well -known typograph and artist of the book. The publication included fonts of exceptional beauty, which are outside of time and fashion, - real examples for imitation in font design. Before presenting a collection of samples, Chichold meticulously analyzes the shape and device of letters, disassembles bad and good fonts, writes about the use of capital and lowercase signs, inter -letter and inter -line distances. Much attention is paid to the correct selection of the font to the task, font compositions and typographic in the urban environment. Many valuable historical illustrations are given in real size and are carefully retouched by the author, so they look better than in poorly preserved originals
