A Selected History

This book covers, in a selected way, the history and development of printing and typefaces from earliest ancient alphabets through modern typography. From scribal days through the printing revolution ushered in by Johann Gutenberg, modern typography and printing rapidly advanced, especially in western Europe. New functional typefaces through the Bauhaus school competed with classic standards. Frederick Goudy and others gave us carefully crafted typeface designs. Printing went from typewriter-like IBM Composers to phototypesetters to modern digital printing from a computer. Even the old standard Helvetica face has undergone new developments. A sampling of digitized typefaces from Lewis F. Day are highlighted, as well as a number of fonts developed or digitized by CARE Typography. Carl Shank is the owner of CARE Typography, a typographic design and printing business since the late 1980s. They have provided clients with font, layout and website designs and services.
