Excerpt from Elements of Lettering and Sign Painting: A Treatise on the History, Classification, and Practical Application of the Various Styles of Letters of the Alphabet Before requiring the student to apply himself to a knowledge of the present forms and classifications of the letters of our alphabet, he should become familiar with their history and the primitive forms of writing. He should also note the important national changes that have caused a transition from one form into another, until our present advanced era has been reached with its great variety of styles, distinctively different in character one from another, and each arising from some important period in the world's history in which the funda mental or parent style was closely allied to a corresponding style of architecture.

Type is the bridge between writer and reader, between thought and understanding. Type is the message bearer: an art-form that impinges upon every literate being and yet for most of its history it has conformed to the old adage that 'good typography should be invisible', it should not distract with its own personality. It was only at the end of the nineteenth century that designers slowly realised that they could say as much with their lettering as writers could with their words. Form, of course, carries as much meaning as content. Now, anyone within reach of a computer and its limitless database of fonts has the same power. "Type: The Secret History of Letters" tells its story for the first time, treating typography as a hidden measure of our history. From the tempestuous debate about its beginnings in the fifteenth century, to the invention of our most contemporary lettering, Simon Loxley, with the skill of a novelist, tells of the people and events behind our letters. How did Johann Gutenberg, in late 1438, come to think of printing? Does Baskerville have anything to do with Sherlock Holmes? Why did the Nazis re-invent Blackletter? What is a Zapf? "Type" is a guide through the history of our letters and a study of their power. From fashion through propaganda and the development of mass literacy, Loxley shows how typography has changed our world.
