Rookledge's International Handbook brings together for the first time in one convenient reference book, brief biographies of over 175 type designers. It provides a fascinating insight into the personalities behind most of the text type-faces used today, and to the circumstances surrounding their design. Starting with the first printed book -- Gutenberg's 42-Line Bible of 1455 -- all the major figures are covered -- designers, punch-cutters, teachers, and manufacturers -- and the story is brought up-to-date by including some of the younger designers, such as Neville Brody and Zuzana Licko as well as established designers like Matthew Carter and Adrian Frutiger. Preceding the alphabetical directory, a short essay outlines the main trends in type design, and two indexes -- by subject and by typeface -- and a glossary of technical terms, complete the work, making it a unique reference book for both professional and student. - Jacket.
