Ten můj font
ISBN: 9788074702044 / Czeski / Miękka / 2019 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Čteme všichni. Když ne zrovna poezii, ruský román nebo filozofický traktát, určitě směrovky na silnicích, nápisy na obalech sušenek nebo esemesky. Písmena v jakékoli podobě provázejí člověka již po staletí, ale nepřišla k nám sama od sebe: někdo je vymyslel, nakreslil a v dřívějších dobách navíc ještě na ně odlil formu a vyrazil, aby jimi mohl tiskař pokrýt papír. Dnes si už neumíme představit svobodnější prostředí než rozbalovací menu s písmem v textovém editoru. Z každého fontu tryská historie, za každou kličkou nebo dříkem vykukuje...

MINI: The True and Secret History of the Making of a Motor Car
ISBN: 9780571248117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In 1959, the first Mini was produced on an assembly line at Cowley, near Oxford. It would take a team of supremely talented designers, engineers and production-line workers to build a car that was unique in appearance and construction. They would clash over an uncomfortable and unsafe prototype, and the public had to be convinced to buy a car that let in water when it rained. But somehow the Mini became an icon. Designed for austerity and efficiency, the car came to represent individuality and classlessness. Today, the car is still produced at Cowley - it is now owned by BMW and called the...

Fonts surround us every day, on street signs and buildings, on movie posters and books, and on just about every product that we buy. But where do fonts come from and why do we need so many?

Simon Garfield embarks on a mission to answer these questions and more, and reveal what may be the very best and worst fonts in the...
