The Visual history of type in 672 pages is not to be missed
Graphic designer, Paul McNeil, has vast experience in corporate and brand communications. Therefore the co-founder of MuirMcNeil is the ideal man to guide us though the Visual History of Type.
The comprehensive, detailed survey of the major typefaces produced since the advent of printing with movable type, in the mid-fifteenth century to the present day is arranged chronologically to provide context for more than 320 typefaces which are displayed in the form of their original type specimens or earliest printing.
Each entry is supported by a brief history and description of key characteristics of the typeface. This book will be the definitive publication in its field, appealing to graphic designers, educators, historians and design students. It will also be a significant resource for professional type designers and students of type.
