"This study of America's leading type foundry of the nineteenth century, MacKellar, Smiths Jordan, emphasizes the design of the hundreds of typefaces that were produced by the foundry, from its inception in the 1860s until its merger with most other American foundries at the end of the century. The author describes how changing business conditions and technical improvements in type founding interacted with changes in public taste over the decades to modify the appearance of American typefaces." "While MacKellar, Smiths Jordan is only one of many American foundries, it can stand as an exemplar of the rest. It was the descendant of the first successful American type foundry, Binny and Ronaldson, started in Philadelphia in 1796, and set many industry standards in business practice, manufacturing, and design. When taste turned away from ornamented type styles at the end of the nineteenth century, MacKellar, Smiths Jordan's output fell into obscurity. This study proposes that the earlier styles were very successful in their own time and should be judged on that basis. A completely illustrated appendix showing MSJ's original typeface designs accompanies the text."--BOOK JACKET.

In 1896 William E. Loy, a San Francisco printing equipment salesman and scholar, had the idea of writing a series of profiles of type designers. Loy took a long view of history, and realized that it was important to document the men in the background who created the nineteenth century's fanciful types, even as the furiously competing type foundries got the credit for introducing them to the printing trade. His work was serialized in The Inland Printer over the next three years and included biographies, photographs of the artists, and lists of the type they had designed or cut, which Loy had painstakingly compiled through correspondence with the type founders and other craftsmen. Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations of a monthly periodical, it was not possible to show the typefaces mentioned. Finally here is the work as Loy envisioned it, with over 800 illustrations of typefaces designed by the craftsmen he discusses. Loy traces their personal stories adding much incidental detail about the politics & business practices of the time and the innovations of each of these thirty men. Now, a century later, typographical historians Alastair Johnston and Stephen Saxe have realized Loy's vision, fully illustrated and annotated. This is one of the first reference books on nineteenth-century American type design, and as such is an important addition to typographical history.

The international creation of typefaces after 1950 was decisively influenced by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. His Univers typeface and the machine-readable font OCR-B, which was adopted as an ISO standard, are milestones, as is his type for the Paris airports, which set new standards for signage types and evolved into the Frutiger typeface. With his corporate types, he helped to define the public profiles of companies such as the Japanese Shiseido line of cosmetics. In all he created some fifty types, including Ondine, Méridien, Avenir, and Vectora. Based on conversations with Frutiger himself and on extensive research in France, England, Germany, and Switzerland, this publication provides a highly detailed and accurate account of the type designer’s artistic development. For the first time, all of his types – from the design phase to the marketing stage – are illustrated and analyzed with reference to the technology and related types. Hitherto unpublished types that were never realized and more than one hundred logos complete the picture.
