Rate this book
Στην αρχή ο Θεός έπλασε τα τυπογραφικά στοιχεία. Το δε σύμπαν ήταν άμορφο και ανοικοδόμητο και σκοτάδι κάλυπτε την ευαναγνωσιμότητα. Και είπε ο Θεός: "Να δημιουργηθούν δέκα κανόνες για να καθορίζουν τη χρήση της τυπογραφίας", και γεννήθηκε μορφή, οργάνωση και ευαναγνωσιμότητα και είδε ο Θεός ότι ήταν καλό. Η τυπογραφία όμως δε θα μπορούσε να υπάρξει χωρίς το ανθρώπινο στοιχείο και ο Θεός έπλασε τον άνθρωπο. Από τη δική του φυλή ο Κύριος επέλεξε δώδεκα από τους πιο άξιους, τους όρισε μαθητές Του και τους ανέθεσε να σπείρουν τους νόμους της τυπογραφίας και στους υπόλοιπους ανθρώπους. Κατόπιν ο Κύριος μίλησε στους μαθητές Του και τους παρέδωσε τους δέκα νόμους, τους οποίους πρέπει να σέβεται και να υπακούει κάθε σχεδιαστής, προκειμένου να γίνει δεκτός στον τυπογραφικό Παράδεισο. Οι νόμοι αυτοί βοήθησαν τους σχεδιαστές να δημιουργήσουν άπειρες ποσότητες όμορφων έργων και έγιναν γνωστοί ως "Οι Δέκα Εντολές της Τυπογραφίας".

I just wanted a book on type and here I got a book by men celebrating - you guessed it - only other men. It's not clever or rebellious as it claims and left me feeling disappointed. But maybe a bit inspired to do this better.

A real quick read and its true to it’s name - commandments. Witty. That’s all.

Not even worth as a refresher.

The manifesto aspects are thoroughly unconvincing, and the double‐sided book gimmick is interesting for about 90 seconds.

Sono stato adescato dalla formula double face della copertina, comunicativamente piuttosto convincente, aspettandomi dal contenuto interno lo stesso tono minimal e brillante.
In realtà l'ho trovato piuttosto pedissequo, più scarno che sintetico, mentre l'idea dei dieci comandamenti non è stata del tutto sfruttata come potenzialità sia grafica che espositiva, proponendo delle case history di applicazione delle font piuttosto deboli. Soprattutto nella parte "infernale" mi sarei aspettato delle soluzioni formalmente più convincenti, perchè solo la loro dirompenza avrebbe davvero dimostrato la necessità di rompere le regole.
Oltre al "packaging", salvo soltanto una semplice frase estrapolata da un'intervista di prefazione a Matthew Carter, che probabilmente ri-citerò a mia volta all'occasione buona: "The advantage o frules is that they can prevent mistakes; the disadvantage is that tehey can prevent discoveries".

For some reason I thought this was going to be an essay based book, but it turned out to be heavy on the typographic illustrations. The actual content was minimal, and it was one of those "heard it all before" type of books. It was interesting enough for me to keep reading though it, but I was done in 10 min.

This smart little book demonstrates that every rule was made to be broken. And if you are going to break it, doing it in a good font.
