Résumé:
Now in its fourth iteration, revised and dramatically expanded with over 100 new pages, Julian Rothenstein's classic compendium, « A2Z » remains the ultimate source for unusual, inventive fonts not found anywhere else: the "Tippler" alphabet created from an elegant, drunk man's meanderings, one based on ink spots, and another derived from an avant-garde Czech ballet. Eye test charts assert their modernist merit, and a Russian graphic simplifies the connection between agriculture and industry in elegant Constructivist type. Culled from books, advertisements, packaging, posters, and technical manuals from around the world, this off-beat collection is the perfect inspiration for designers, history buffs and anyone else interested in remarkable typefaces, symbols, and patterns.

Résumé:
ABZ présente, en couleurs, une multitude d’alphabets complets, une myriade d’emblèmes et de logos, de pages élégantes et d’exemples étonnants de l’avant-garde graphique du début du XXe siècle. Issus de collections, privées pour la plupart, disséminées à travers le monde, de Londres à Mexico en passant par Prague, Amsterdam et New York, la plupart de ces splendides documents sont reproduits ici pour la première fois. Dans ce voyage au pays des lettres et des signes, on pourra rencontrer l’alphabet photo-poétique de Karel Teige, l’un des leaders de l’avant-garde de l’entre-deux-guerres ; les pages émouvantes issues d’un manuel espagnol pour les soldats analphabètes ; les typographies avant-gardistes de Lajos Kassak ; les caractères créés par Snellen pour les tableaux des opticiens, et l’impertinence élégante de journaux français, allemands, italiens et tchèques. On pourra aussi croiser les designers les plus célèbres, tels El Lissitzky, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Ladislav Sutnar et A.M. Cassandre. Les textes d’accompagnement apprennent au lecteur l’histoire de chaque alphabet, l’usage pour lequel il a été créé, le succès qu’il a connu par la suite. Un merveilleux texte de Georges Pérec intitulé « L’alphabet » introduit le lecteur dans le monde magique des lettres .

Résumé:
Julian Rothenstein turns his idiosyncratic eye towards eccentric alphabets, emblems, and logos discovered in avant-garde modernist publications and other curious sources. Hundreds of examples of graphic ephemera sit side-by-side, mixing peculiar charm with useful reference in one package. Special features include an alphabet, circa 1926, created from photographs of a dancing woman; original test-types for opticians’ charts; pages from sign artists’ manuals; and designs from fin de siècle French, German, Italian, and Czech journals. Nearly all of this material is reproduced here for the first time since its original publication.
