Though digital tools may have allowed designers new power and flexibility, typography remains the bedrock of good graphics, and one of the most exciting areas of experimentation. Despite the myriad collections of type design produced, before this book no one has attempted a thematic and critical overview of digital typography and the oft-unpublished radical works that lead to these designs.

Featuring the work of dozens of typographers from around the world, Type Design: Radical Innovations and Experimentation illuminates the rich history of digital typography from its physical properties and production methods, through the development of typographic styles, to the diversity of its uses in print, architecture, film, TV, and other media.

Published twenty years ago this book remains required reading for many courses in experimental typography.
