"pages of beautifully reproduced work, a selection that is both brilliant and disturbing." blueprint

"has the bright clean flavour of a sixties pop art catalogue, seasoned with early nineties technology... buy this essential time-capsule of a book and let it be a lesson to you." xyz

first published in 1991 to wide acclaim, typography now: the next wave rapidly established itself as the one indispensable guide to the new experimental typography. now available in paperback, this is the ground-breaking international survey that plotted the changing landscape of letterforms - from the anti-professionalism of edward fella to the neo-modernist rigour of 8vo, from zuzana licko's emigre fonts to barry deck's type for an imperfect world, from the extraordinary, deconstructed telephone book to seminal projects from cranbrook academy of art. a lucid introduction by design critic rick poynor, editor of eye magazine, traces the origins of next wave typography, whether hand-made or digital, and explains the thinking that gives it shape. an uncompromisingly playful design by why not associates makes typography now a handbook and manifesto for the controversial approaches it documents and explores.

typography now: the next wave hat sich schnell einen spitzenplatz als führer durch die experimentelle designszene erobert.

jetzt auch als preisgünstiges paperback erhältlich, vermittelt es einen internationalen überblick von der nicht-professionellen typographie bis zum neo-modernismus.

rick poynor, herausgeber des renommierten magazins EYE, zeigt in der einführung arbeitsweise und philosophie der typographischen avantgarde.

typography now ist das unentbehrliche handbuch für den praktiker und ein manifest zeitgenössischer strömungen im grafik-design.
