This is a sourcebook of the most beautiful type of letters, as selected by the author, as well as a discussion of lettering as a work of art, good and bad letters, the use of capital and lower case letters, word and line spacing, the selection of appropriate letter styles, and the layout of letters and signs. Anyone who works with type should find this facsimile of Tschichold's work of interest. Jan Tschichold was the recipient of prizes that included the AIGA Gold Medal in 1954 and the Leipzig Gutenberg Prize in 1965.
