Деякий час у далекому минулому написання від руки було високо цінуваною навичкою, яку потрібно було оволодіти, і була всюдисущою через публікації та публічні вивіски. Хоча сьогодні суспільство значною мірою покладається на клавіатури та екрани для спілкування, все більше творчих практиків були зайняті відродженням, здавалося б, втраченого мистецтва в останні роки, намагаючись повернути щирість і теплоту людського дотику до нашого переважно цифрового життя. Наповнений характером, рукописний напис служить мостом між каліграфією старої школи та сучасною типографікою, щоб повернути нюанси в епоху одноманітності.

Як оновлення оригінального випуску в 2017 році, видання ‘Handstyle Lettering’ 2022, перевидане у зв’язку з 20-річчям Victionary, є чудовою вітриною творів мистецтва з усього світу, які не відрізняються від різноманітності. З додатковою добіркою нових проектів книга також містить проникливі інтерв’ю з найкращими каліграфами, а також розширений, зручний для початківців посібник/сферу практики.

A graphic compendium of vintage American design and typography.

Junk Type is a project driven by the passion of one man to document a disappearing aspect of American culture. Bill Rose — aka Recapturist — is a photographer and designer who has spent the last decade traveling across America looking for junkyards, yard sales, antique stores, and other unlikely sources of inspiration to capture examples of postwar American typography and design before they’re lost forever.

Bringing together more than 400 images, this invaluable book is a visual history of postwar America, told through the distinct typography, icons, badges, and branding of the country’s industrial heritage. From Art Deco-inspired fonts and unique handmade cursive lettering to illustrated insignia and clean graphic logos bearing the influence of European design of the 1960s, these pictures together represent an encyclopedic reference of creative typefaces and graphics.

With each photograph representing just a detail — an embossed logo, a specially created icon, or an advertising slogan — this book captures the optimism and pragmatism of a golden age of American industrial creativity and distills it into a charming resource for anyone with an eye (or nostalgia) for vintage design.

About the Author:

Bill Rose is a photographer who documents vintage Americana through his successful website Recapturist. Based in Minneapolis, he travels the country and specializes in neon signs and the typography and logo design of vintage American industrial objects.

_Method by specialist in the field
_Development of new idea of handwriting
_To find own way and own set of rules after understanding how it works
_Eight chapters with practical exercises to be done in the book

Although handwriting is one of mankind’s greatest cultural achievements, written communication today consists mostly of typing into computers and mobile devices. Monica Dengo addresses herself to all those who don’t even use pen and paper for their shopping list, but would like to try using them (again).

This book discovers and promotes the creative potential of handwriting – and allows to put it into practice right away on the pages of the book. Well-founded and very colorful, inspiring and yet structured: in the end, there is the joy of expressing oneself with a personal touch and the understanding that writing is much more than just the graphic transcription of language extending all the way to the origin of the need for expression.

This is not just another lettering book. At present, this art has been performed for several decades. It enjoys a high level of popularity due to the possibilities, uses, and techniques that give you the opportunity to experience, play, and enjoy while you create. There are more people now than ever who understand its potential and are dedicated to making “letters” full of beauty and individual style.

Following the hand of authentic masters of the art of lettering from around the world, you can enter into their fascinating worlds full of unique letters and learn their techniques, tips and tricks from each artist.

Lettering is the art of “drawing” letters or words, highlighting their imperfections and free style

This technique, which has been in use for several decades, is currently enjoying wide popularity thanks to its many talented exponents worldwide, including Tobias Hall, Craig Black, Martina Flor, Ivan Castro, Betrayer Family, Tobias Saul, Sergio Jiménez and others. We can find Lettering decorating the interiors of bars and restaurants, the windows displays of top stores, advertising campaigns etc.   

The book is divided into two parts; in the first half each artist has selected examples of their work and discussed their influences and early career, while in the second half each of them provides a new piece of work, talking us through the creative and production process, step by step, from the initial idea and sketch, explaining how the dimensions were worked out and the letters combined to ultimately form a harmonious message.    

This is a complete book for all lovers of the art, and those who want to take a glance at the wonderful world of Lettering.

The definitive typographic exploration of the letter forms and typography of one of Europe’s leading design studios

Letters from M/M (Paris) is a comprehensive study of the typefaces produced by Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak since they founded their influential art and design practice, M/M (Paris).

For the first time, ninety of the designers’ typefaces are catalogued chronologically in a three-part volume, comprising the history of their development; exclusive type specimens; and detailed illustrations of projects in which they appear.

With a foreword by Björk – whose collaboration with M/M spans over two decades – this encyclopaedic volume traces the distinctive and integral nature of type, lettering and signs in the work of M/M, from one-off artistic commissions to fashion branding and their long-lasting collaborations with musicians and theatres.

This complete typographic collection is the perfect companion to the two-volume monograph M to M of M/M (Paris), and will appeal not only to graphic designers, historians and students, but to anyone interested in art and visual culture.

З кінця ХІХ століття наша естетика зазнає виклику різними авангардними мистецькими ідеями, особливо вражаючими хаотичною візуальністю. Але за хаосом у мистецтві криється ще багато історій. Ця книга досліджує спадщину хаотичного мистецтва в історії людства та містить найзахопливіші графічні проекти, що вирізняються хаотичними стилями, які були розбиті на чотири різні підходи: спотворення, надмірність, різноманітність і випадковість. Як данина хаотичному мистецтву, вдосконаленому сміливими попередниками, а також як оплески хаотичним візуальним образам, які живлять наші сучасні дизайнери, він служить мостом між художніми ідеалами та графічною комунікацією, між спантеличеними читачами та експресивними дизайнерами.
