As type gourmets, Heller and Fili savour type in many forms—especially the aesthetically idiosyncratic and the printed artefacts of which historical or retro typefaces are samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA period of rapid innovation and growth in printing and type technology, the late 1800s and early 1900s saw type foundries in Europe and America burst into wellsprings for bold compositions and arresting typefaces. However, this is not a history book; rather, it is a sampler of tasty typographic confections or so-called eye candy. The curated selection here reflects this era's printing material, including stock pictorial cuts, filigree borders, and cartouches galore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese aesthetic gems are the fruit of Heller's and Fili's labours after spending decades scouring the antiquarian book and flea markets of Paris, Berlin, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere online and in auction catalogues to find examples of graphic design worth preserving and reviving. These beautiful—yet often absurd—rarities represent historic typeface catalogues and specimen sheets from an age when craftsmanship was at its zenith and attention to manufacture was rigorous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaired best with the authors' 2011 book, \u003cem\u003eVintage Type \u0026amp; Graphics\u003c\/em\u003e, this full colour volume is not just about delectation for its own sake, but to prove beyond a drop-shadow of a doubt that just because a typeface or decorative device is \"old\" does not mean it is \"old-fashioned\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464764702956,"sku":"9781621537083","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781621537083-vintage-graphic-design.jpg?v=1775053733"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/louise-fili.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
