A delightfully inquisitive tour that explores the rich history and the subtle powers of fonts.
Fonts surround us every day, on street signs and buildings, on movie posters and books, and on just about every product that we buy. But where do fonts come from and why do we need so many? Who is behind the businesslike subtlety of Times New Roman, the cool detachment of Arial, or the maddening lightness of Comic Sans (and the movement to ban it)? Simon Garfield embarks on a mission to answer these questions and more, and reveal what may be the very best and worst fonts in the world.
Typefaces are now 560 years old, but we barely knew their names until about twenty years ago, when the pull-down font menus on our first computers made us all the gods of type. Beginning in the early days of Gutenberg and ending with the most adventurous digital fonts, Garfield unravels our age old obsession with the way our words look. Just My Type investigates a range of modern mysteries, including how Helvetica took over the world, what inspires the seemingly ubiquitous use of Trajan on bad movie posters, and what makes a font look presidential, male or female, American, British, German, or Jewish. From the typeface of Beatlemania to the graphic vision of the Obama campaign, fonts can signal a musical revolution or the rise of an American president. This book is a must-read for the design conscious that will forever change the way you look at the printed word.

评分本书就是讲述西文的字体发展历程，其实就是相当于我们中文字的字体历史，从甲骨文到什么颜体，柳体之类的。 西文的字数只有26，根据不同国家，可能有不同的变形，但也就几十个字而已。相比中文以万计数的汉字（常用汉字7000个），西文字体创造起来真是太轻松了，只需要确定26个...
评分在《机械复制时代的艺术作品》中，本雅明提到，早在文字能够印刷之前，木刻技术已经实现了对版画等艺术作品的复制，而后石印术和摄影术又分别二度改变了文献和形象复制领域的面貌。里头最著名的一个论述是，当现代工业技术可以轻而易举地进行制模、影印、刷版等流程操作之后，...

第一本读的很开心的历史书。All glory to the Baskerville Q.
评分读完就觉得我不懂字体。“外行因为不懂，所以只区分得出brush script与arial那种巨大区别。其实字体的设计精髓在于nuances，就像葡萄酒。”
