The successor volume to Alan Bartram and James Sutton's classic 1968 work An Atlas of Typeforms. Richly illustrated throughout, graphic designer and typographer Alan Bartram examines the visual evolution of Latin printing type, from early Venetian, Old Face, and Transitional to Modern, Egyptian, and Sans-serif letterforms, alongside a parallel comparative study of architectural and vernacular hand-lettering. A beautiful study.
