Publisher's Synopsis
Since the 1990s, font design has been revolutionised by new technologies that enabled a scalable and mathematically accurate representation of graphic elements without a loss of quality. These days, even older fonts are being resurrected, redrawn, and launched digitally. In Zurich, educators and students of type design are especially focusing on new text fonts for printing, screens, and wayfinding. This specialist volume edited by Rudolf Barmettler offers an in-depth look at the booming trend in font design.
