Philip Brady
Using Type Right: 121 Basic No-Nonsense Rules for Working With Type

Publisher: NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company | 1993-04 | ISBN: 9780844233758 | pdf (OCR) | 120 pages | 5 Mb

This book will help you design a magazine, create powerful slides for a sales presentation, produce a sales flip chart, prepare a presentation for the next board of directors meeting, develop a new design for your company stationery, devise or update a company logo, know which way a vertical book page should face, and understand why two hyphens do not an em dash make.
Here's a hint for using this book: Keep a type specimen book handy as you read. If you're not familiar with a typeface that's mentioned, look at the sample in the specimen book, then compare it to other typefaces mentioned and to illustrations within this book. That way you'll begin to learn the specific attributes and characteristics of many useful, well-designed typefaces and can put them to work for you.

Counterpunch by Fred Smeijers
PDF, English language. 45Mb.

synopsis

Typography is still dominated by letterforms from the first hundred years of European printing. What were the processes and attitudes that lie behind these forms? Fred Smeijers is a type designer who learnt to design and cut punches: the key instruments with which metal type is made. This book is a work of practical history, with much contemporary relevance.

Counterpunch opens with some basic questions: just what – in any age – is type? How does it differ from what we call writing? How to evaluate type? The historical discussion then begins with a look at the attitudes to letters of the Italian humanists in the fifteenth century. Their abstract ideals are contrasted with the material realities of production. These realities are also set against the idealism of historians.

Two approaches are distinguished: one that uses a set of counterpunches to make the punches, and one that engraves each punch freshly. Smeijers sees the counterpunch as an essential aid. It ensures regularity of form, repeatability, speed in production – in fact it gives a system of design, which will always be applicable to roman letterforms.

The central chapters of the book carry this argument forward, with a close look at the type and punches that survive from the sixteenth century, notably in the Plantin Museum at Antwerp. Here the illustrations are important: lucid line-drawings by Smeijers, photographs of early printing, and greatly enlarged photographs of punches – revealing them as the sculptures they are.

The book closes with some wider discussion, arguing for a way past the polarities of traditional/new-wave, and for clear socially-minded typography. Counterpunch comes out of the presently flourishing Dutch typographic culture. It is a high-quality flapped paperback, set in a new typeface (Renard, designed by Smeijers), and printed throughout in two colours.

reviews

Smeijers, a Dutch type- and graphic designer, knows what he is talking about. Not an ivory-tower theoretician, he has practised punchcutting intensively. This shows, for example, in his commentary on two chapters of Pierre Simon Fournier’s Manuel typographique of 1764, which Smeijers gives in an English translation and elucidates very instructively. The last part of the book extends the discussion to current type design and stresses the meaning of history for the present. Smeijers does not think that young designers nowadays must necessarily concern themselves with historical type, but he argues reasonably that they would profit from this.

Counterpunch is written in an entertaining manner and Smeijers’s ‘esprit’ frequently shines through – for which a compliment to the editor, Robin Kinross, is due. He revised the manuscript, largely written in English, without smoothing out the text too much. The carefully considered design, a bibliography, and a useful index complete a book that we can warmly recommend to anyone interested in type.
Kaspar Brand, Page [Hamburg], May 1997

It is no exaggeration that reading Counterpunch is fun. ... This book was not written for historians, ‘but for the makers and users of type,’ and anyone who has spent any amount of time intimate with the forms and counterforms of type will enjoy seeing the punchcutting experience through Smeijers’s eyes.
Angelynn Grant, Communication Arts, 1997

Counterpunch is a convincing argument, a strike back if you will, against the accepted theories of type design, history, and typography which have lead to a theory of mathematical precision in type forms that deadens their visual effect on the page.
Dan Carr, Matrix, 1997
