Revival Type: Digital Typefaces Inspired by the Past - USA Yale Architectural Press 2017 - 256: ill. ‎ 9.9 x 7.7 x 0.9 inches

This fascinating tour through typographic history provides a visually rich exploration of digital type revival. Many typefaces from the pre-digital past have been reinvented for use on computers and mobile devices, while other new font designs are revivals of letterforms, drawn from inscriptions, calligraphic manuals, posters, and book jackets. Revival Type deftly introduces these fonts, many of which are widely used, and engagingly tells their stories.
