Product Information

For the first time, the history of the typography of Latin script is told as a comic

What does our letter A have to do with an ox? Why does a poster using Comic Sans seem less serious than one in Trajan? Where does typography come from and which artists have influenced it? Although it is omnipresent in books and magazines, on posters and screens, typography is a largely unknown art. Here, eleven illustrators and a copywriter describe the major stages in its history in an easily accessible and playful way, from the emergence of Latin script to phototypesetting, from ancient Rome to the Bauhaus and DIN 1451.

Das ABCD der Typographie. Hrsg. von David Rault. Hardcover, 128 pages. Jacoby & Stuart 2021. German edition

Schulz-Reiss: Johannes Gutenberg und das Werk der Bücher

In c. 1450 an invention changed the world forever: printing with moveable type. Gutenberg’s “work of the books” heralded the dawn of a new age. The written word was no longer the prerogative of the rich. Finally, it was possible to make news and thoughts, ideas and words and particularly education accessible to the general public – a change that was as significant as the invention of the computer or the Internet.In a lively and informative manner author Christine Schulz-Reiss tells the tale of how the hot-headed son of a Mainz patrician became one of the most important inventors in world history. Klaus Ensikat’s masterly illustrations take readers both young and old back to the turbulent days of the Middle Ages and right into Johannes Gutenberg’s workshop.Christine Schulz-Reiss: Johannes Gutenberg und das Werk der Bücher. Hardcover, 36 pages, Kindermannverlag 2018. German edition.
