Description
A comprehensive collection of vintage American typography and design, Junk Type features over 400 images showcasing postwar America's industrial heritage. The book is the result of Bill Rose's decade-long project to document disappearing aspects of American culture through photographs of junkyards, yard sales, antique stores, and other unlikely sources. Here, you'll find a visual history of postwar America told through its distinct typography, icons, badges, and branding. From Art Deco-inspired fonts to illustrated insignia and clean graphic logos, these pictures represent an encyclopedic reference of creative typefaces and graphics. Each photograph captures a detail, such as an embossed logo or advertising slogan, distilling the optimism and pragmatism of a golden age of American industrial creativity into a charming resource for anyone with an eye for vintage design.
