Overview
Presents a lively overview of the history & graphic evolution of the Latin alphabet. Within the context of how ancient writing systems dramatically influenced the societies that conceived & adopted them, Haley examines the development of each character from a simple image representing a word or concept to an elegant graphic symbol signifying an individual sound. Explores how the expressive wealth of contemporary type design reflects the complex history of each letterform. Fascinating accounts of the design development of the ampersand, the Arabic numerals, & punctuation are included. Illustrated with 100's of typefaces.
