Summary:
Cet ouvrage retrace l'évolution de la création typographique depuis 1985. Présentant les caractères dans leur contexte d'utilisation, affiches, panneaux, journaux, magazines, livres,etc., pour lesquels ils ont souvent été spécialement conçus, il constitue un précieux outil de référence à l'attention des designers graphiques et de tous ceux intéressés par la typographie. Trois essais préliminaires explorent les partis pris du XXe siècle face aux enjeux constants de la typographie : lisibilité, expressivité, beauté formelle du caractère. Depuis les affiches de l'Art nouveau, les tendances, parfois antagonistes, du design typographique ont en effet nourri la création contemporaine et il importait d'évoquer cet héritage. Les fontes numériques actuelles sont aussi le reflet de besoins spécifiques en termes de communication, comme en témoignent, parmi les trente-quatre familles de caractères présentées dans la suite de l'ouvrage, Le Monde de Jean-François Porchez, ou Franklin Gothic revisité par ITC. Ces polices, toutes commercialisées, sont dues à des typographes oeuvrant tant en Europe qu'aux États-Unis, ou au Japon. Leurs sources d'inspiration, leur démarche créatrice sont explicitées ; des reproductions d'esquisses et de premières épreuves, un texte composé dans le caractère lui-même illustrent le propos. Ce livre s'achève très utilement par une description des caractères "historiques" - du Garamond, datant de 1543, au Akzidenz Grotesk, dessiné par Gunter Gerhard Lange en 1969 - , qui ont fait l'objet d'innombrables révisions, adaptations et libres interprétations contemporaines.

Summary:
This substantial volume places Tschichold's vision firmly in the rich cultural and historical context of his era. In his introduction, Cees W. de Jong offers an overview of Tschichold's life and times, while the other contributors discuss the designer's major influences and innovations, including his seminal poster design, groundbreaking work with Penguin Books, and later reappropriation of classical typography. Superbly illustrated with archive photographs and examples of Tschichold's work, the book confirms de Jong's assertion that "Tschichold's heritage lives on in the digital age, proving that he is among the greatest typographic designers ever, his influence still being visible in the world of typography to this day." 350 illustrations, 150 in color.
