Since that time, we have seen a boom in the production of new fonts. This book takes stock of what was achieved during this protean period. Smeijers, a first-generation digital type designer, knows the possibilities of computer technology, but nevertheless argues for the continuing validity of the traditional skills of drawing and shape-making. He suggests that the trends of the recent past are already exhausted. As new industry standards are introduced, font design must again become a job for engineers rather than self-trained designers. The book concludes that the number of new fonts being introduced must be reduced, and it ends with a proposal for a new \"moral code\" for type designers.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hyphen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893516300517,"sku":"NP9780907259244","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/type-now-isbn-9780907259244","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
