Description
Type Tells Tales explores typography that conveys meaning and tells stories. This type is not just decorative, but an integral part of the message it expresses. In this book, Steven Heller and Gail Anderson examine how typographers use letters to create unique voices and convey emotions. From hand lettering with distinctive personalities to experimental works like Apollinaire's calligram 'Il pleut' or Kurt Schwitters' children's picture book The Scarecrow, the authors uncover a wide range of examples that demonstrate the versatility of typography. They show how type can be used to guide the eye through dense information and create typographic pantomimes. The book features a diverse collection of examples, including typographic blocks, paragraphs, sentences, and blurbs, all showcasing the creative ways in which letters can take on different shapes and forms.
