Adrian Frutiger Typefaces : the Complete Works

2008réf. C94189Birkhäuser Architecture. As New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 460 pages; 430 color 620 b/w illustrations. Description: "Adrian Frutiger first came to the design world's attention in the late 1950s with his design of Univers and the numbering concept behind it. A considerable proportion of his output has also been informed by developments in typesetting technology. In the 1970s he set a standard for signage typefaces with his Alphabet Roissy for the Paris-Roissy airport. Slightly reworked this went on to enjoy great success as a body typeface under the name Frutiger. His machine-readable OCR-B which is used on paying-in slips passports credit cards and as ISBN numbers on books has become an official ISO standard. His sans serif typefaces Avenir and Vectora which appeared at the end of the 1980s stand out because of their exceptional readability and have cemented Frutigers reputation as 'Mr Sans Serif'. The Complete Works is based on interviews and conversations with the designer and on comprehensive research by the editors. Its depth and range make it an indispensable reference work. Completed in the year of Adrian Frutiger's 80th birthday it represents as is his wish his legacy to further generations of type designers and typographers." -- with a bonus offer-- - May be EITHER: out of print OOP and extremely rare in this pristine condition; signed by author or contributor; or a first or special edition; inquire for details; The international creation of typefaces after 1950 was decisively influenced by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. His Univers typeface and the machine-readable font OCR-B which was adopted as an ISO standard are milestones as is his type for the Paris airports which set new standards for signage types and evolved into the Frutiger typeface. With his corporate types he helped to define the public profiles of companies such as the Japanese Shiseido line of cosmetics. In all he created some fifty types including Ondine MÃÂ©ridien Avenir and Vectora. Based on conversations with Frutiger himself and on extensive research in France England Germany and Switzerland this publication provides a highly detailed and accurate account of the type designer s artistic development. For the first time all of his types from the design phase to the marketing stage are illustrated and analyzed with reference to the technology and related types. Hitherto unpublished types that were never realized and more than one hundred logos complete the picture. . 2008. 3764385812 . Birkhäuser Architecture hardcover

Spine with five raised bands and six gilt decorated compartments. Gilt ruling marbled endpapers and dentelles. Initialed by the author Paul Baerwald on the fourth endpaper. A completely singular publication and binding with no other recorded copies of the text itself presented to Paul Baerwald from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee or JDC. In 1932 Baerwald became the Chairman of the JDC and would serve as such through the rise of the Nazi Regime the escape expulsion and attempted extermination of the Jewish people in Europe and the entirety of World War II. He supervised all of the JDC's philanthropic and rescue work throughout this period by sending funds to Europe and elsewhere even heroically risking the organization itself by sending borrowed monies from New York banking institutions. In 1938 he became a member of President Roosevelt's Advisory Committee on Political Refugees to expand the work of the JDC to the largest possible scale. The true humanitarian impact of Baerwald's efforts are inestimable. Most profoundly throughout the 1930s and leading up to the U.S. entry into WWII Baerwald delivered public and private orations informing the American public for the first time as to the persecution of the Jewish people in Europe while passionately advocating for any type of assistance. These speeches make up the text of the present volume and represent the earliest pleas for United States intervention and assistance on behalf of the Jewish people. In 1945 Baerwald was named Honorary Chairman of the JDC where he then instituted policies which aided over half a million refugees to reach Israel. FINE in Near Fine felt lined clamshell case.

Opera di Frate Vespasiano Amphiareo da Ferrara. nella quale s'insegna scrivere varie sorti di lettere

1580réf. 5531Venice: Alessandro Gardano 1580. THIRTEENTH EDITION first printed in 1548. All editions are rare. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in 18th c. paste-paper over boards with a slim red morocco spine light wear to boards and spine upper joint starting corners bumped. A very nice copy preserving earlier endpapers with a 17th c. ownership inscription and a calligraphic flourish. The volume is overall very fresh with just a very light stain to the inner margin of the first few leaves light soiling to the title with two early ownership inscriptions and last leaf some scattered marginal soiling and a few small stains on two leaves. Illustrated throughout with 101 pages of woodcut alphabets and writing examples. An influential writing manual by the Franciscan friar and writing master Vespasiano Amphiareo who practiced and taught calligraphy in Florence before moving to Venice around 1518. In the introduction to the first edition of his book 1548 he tells us that he had already been practicing his craft for thirty years. The book showcases Amphiareo's "bastarda del frate" script which combined elements of the mercantile and chancery hands to produce a more fluid form that would serve the needs of both the chancery scribe and the merchant as well as non-professional letter writers. As the author writes in his dedication to Prince Francesco Donato the Doge of Venice "Having through my own art and industry newly devised a form and a character of handwriting called bastarda which like a mystical body of nature partakes of many styles of writing it seems to me that it may be equally suited to the chancery scribe because it is somewhat elongated and graceful and useful to the merchant because it is cursive and swift; and therefore to every other sort of person." The book first appeared in 1548 and went through no fewer than 18 editions-with the addition of two new scripts after 1572-up to the year 1620. In addition to the writing examples which occupy 101 pages Amphiareo includes instructions for making black blue red and gold inks; as well as instructions for making and holding a pen. Amphiareo's was the first writing book in oblong format designed to better reflect the dimensions of writing paper rather than the vertical format used by printers. In his letter to the reader Amphiareo explains how he developed his script: "For many years I had it in mind to find a form of letters so easy and quick that both chancery clerks and merchants could write it readily and that would fully serve them for letters and for keeping books. This inclination of mine was greatly spurred on by men of outstanding intellect in Florence at the time when I was pursuing my usual occupation in that most illustrious city. "There a certain mercantile letter with heavy strokes was in use not very unlike the Venetian mercantile. Since it was difficult and slow both to write and to learn I set myself to study and sharpen my wits so much that I adapted certain bodies and certain strokes of the one and the other letter. In the judgment of men of understanding my idea turned out gracefully. This letter which I named the Bastarda del Frate was so welcome and so praised that in the said city of Florence fathers would not have their sons learn any other letter. This proved a success both for them and for me since they learned to write with the highest excellence and I drew no small profit from it. Because my intention is to share with all the world the skill that God has given me and I cannot be bodily in more than one place I have had this present little book engraved at incredible expense to myself." In addition to the bastarda chancery and mercantile hands Amphiareo includes "a number of gothic hands: bollatica francesca rognosa etc. all in appropriate texts; a number of alphabets: ornate roman capitals signed in interlaced ciphers of the sort expounded by Palatino followed by a set of decorated roman capitals made up of twisted boughs or logs; a handsome set of gothic entrelac initials two to the page decorated with putti heads and the like; a decorated gothic set also two to the page; a set of simplified geometrically constructed minuscules round gothic based on Fanti's; and roman inscriptional outline capitals against horizontally ruled squares. "Amphiareo's choice of format was also a significant change. The books of his predecessors from 1514 until his own had all been vertical octavos apart from Tagliente's one perhaps abortive experiment in this format in 1525. Their layouts were modeled on book practice. Amphiareo's format showed off to best advantage his layouts inspired not by book pages but by epistolary practice. The letter of his day was generally written on a wide short sheet of paper or vellum folded after writing to produce an envelope - somewhat on the order of today's airletter form turned sideways. Amphiareo's pages suggest this shape quite successfully."Morison "On Some Italian Scripts of the XV and XVI Centuries" in "Selected essays on the history of letter-forms in manuscript and print" Vol. 2 Ch.8 p. 89 ff.
