Experiments With Letterform and Calligraphy

by André Gürtler

This book is dedicated to the calligraphic experience and to calligraphy as one of the fundamentals of understanding letterform. But instead of it being based in the traditional, hand-written form styles, Gürtler, an accomplished typographer and designer, has introduced it to the computer. Through his years of being a skilled typographer and professor of calligraphy and type design he shows the reader how to adapt what was once only thought of as the hand designed into a computer based interpretation. Includes 294 b&w and 36 color reproductions.
