Abstract

Dedicated to graphic designer Gerard Unger (1942-2018), this book presents a case study in the development of modern type design as it unfolds along with the rapid technological shifts that transformed typesetting and publishing over the past 50 years. While most of Unger's types are variations on the economical Dutch tradition, they are also permeated by his distinctive style, marked by tensive curves and dynamic rhythm. He drew inspiration from abstract art and delighted in the interplay of form and space in letterforms. The book includes a reproduction and translation of Unger's 1977 exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum, where he began to develop a theory of type design.

Abstract

Shaping Voices aims to discuss the questions (and possible answers) concerning the development of new concepts for re-evaluating contemporary design practice and theory. The book contains the ideas and reflections of a variety of authors, ranging from a selection of designers and artists who have addressed this question within the framework of their work and design practice, to researchers and media art and design theorists who are facing these questions in their daily routine as lecturers and coaches of design students. The book is intended to be a means for the authors and contributors to communicate their shared passion regarding the rich potential of the design landscape for enlivening our environment.

Abstract

In 'Theory of Type Design' wordt door de wereldwijd vermaarde typograaf en letterontwerper Gerard Unger voor het eerst een compleet en toegankelijk geschreven theorie van het letterontwerp gepresenteerd. Het handboek bestaat uit 24 beknopte hoofdstukken die op heldere wijze elk een ander facet van het letterontwerp beschrijven, van de invloed van taal tot de digitale ontwikkelingen van vandaag, van de manier waarop het oog en de hersenen lettervormen verwerken tot en met hun uitdrukkingskracht.
