Revival Type: Digital Typefaces Inspired by the Past

This is a book that is so satisfying in so many levels, it gives a little background and a little history on many examples of type, but the most interest are the reproduction of the type. I really did not realise there was so many different and beautiful ways of replicated the alphabet. Some revive an era in my mind, others seem so modern that they could have been digitally produced.As a printmaker, I love the type, I collect it wherever I can find it, but with everything it is hard to source or date. This book is an absolute joy to read.

I really enjoyed reading and looking at this book. The author presents a history of typefaces with the inspiration for digital types. Each family of type has an overview history with a short history of the particular type and illustrations. Anyone with an interest in type, printing and books will enjoy this book and it deserves a place in your library.

i don't recall this book and can't find it. I'm not interested in digital typeface so i think there's a mistake here, for me. My wife says that she bought it on my account, and the receiver liked it. As a gift i can't rate it without any feedback so i'll give it a 3.
