The font equivalent of taking a lovely long bath. So glad I added this to the Standard Designs Robert Hughes Memorial Library And Barbecue recently. 600-odd pages of beauty & knowledge. Weighs a ton, but while I’ve still got functioning knees it’s a winner. ‘The Visual History of Type’ by Paul McNeil #type #typography #font #book #typeface #design #designhistory #typographyhistory #printing #theprintedword #roberthughes #laurenceking https://www.instagram.com/p/CCULVIwhGWI/?igshid=1wi8kafc8abld

Some retro lettering charm tonight. Who else remembers Letraset?

Fac-símile de “OS LVSIADAS” da 1ª edição de 1572. Percebam a forma da letra “s”, que se parecia com um “f” sem a barra central, as ligaturas “ss” e “ct”, e ainda o uso do ampersand “&” (“et” em latim) no lugar do “e”. #linguagemescrita #historiadasescritas #academiadotraço #letras #artedaescrita #caligrafesincuraveis #tipografia #typographyhistory (em Curitiba, Paraná) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP7DCZ2D8V-/?utm_medium=tumblr
