 Get Face to Face With the Great Ones June 29, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Goes well with Revival of the Fittest also edited by Meggs. This sample book is different in that the faces shown were chosen by other designers. The faces seen in this book are the ones that you will be using 95% of the time. It is always good to study the classic faces in detail to get a better sense of their character and see the posibilities in their shapes.

This book presents beautiful specimens of the best typefamilies. Each section (Bodoni, Stone, Gill Sans, Garamond, etc.) opens with an experimental composition by a renowned grapphic designers such as Paula Scher, Louise Fili, Paul Rand, and Wolfgang Weingart. The authors' concise write-up on each typefamily provides the history and discusses its character and usage.
