Mr. Typo and the Lost Letters

R. Klanten

Hand to type is a stunning compilation of handmade and digital scripts that showcases the beauty of handwritten letterforms. The book features work by some of today's most successful and original calligraphers and lettering artists. In addition to fonts and lettering using the Latin alphabet, it introduces artists who explore Cyrillic, Arabic, and Greek scripts. The book's rich visual examples are complemented by in-depth interviews with outstanding calligraphers and type designers conducted by editor Jan Middendorp. Hand to type also offers a revealing glimpse into processes by which handmade letters may be turned into digital files. Prominent guest authors introduce the workings of scripts with which many readers may be less familiar - from Arabic and Indian writing systems to the amazing scripts found in pre-war German school books and on Amsterdam pub windows.

Peter Greenaway

J. Brody Neuenschwander

Tiré du site internet "www.johnnealbooks.com" : "Brody Neuenschwander uses his virtuosity to make complex works of art that cause the viewer to look, and read, and look again. He and/or his work has been featured at three of the international calligraphy conferences: Confluence, Experiment, and Legacies. His work is included in most all Letter Arts Review annual issues. This wonderful volume presents his calligraphic collages on paper and a pictorial overview of his letterscapes for cinema, theatre and architecture -- collaborative projects with filmmaker, Peter Greenaway. Neunschwander's writing is on layers of paper, naked skin and monumental walls. Superbly designed by Nej de Doncker, this lovely book is bound in cloth and printed on two types of paper -- one for the full color and the other for the text. Though printed and published in Belgium, the book is in English."
