Resumen

Scripts never go out of style, and the hundreds of inventive examples here – many found in obscure sources from across Europe and America – are sure to inspire today's designers.

From wedding invitations to advertisements, from menus and street signs to diplomas, script typefaces lend elegance and sophistication to a wide range of designs.

Derived from handwriting, these are typefaces that are stylized to suggest, imply or symbolize certain traits linked to writing.

Drawn from the Golden Age of scripts, from the 19th to the mid-20th century, this collection will be an invaluable sourcebook for anyone with an interest in graphic design or typography.

Contents
Introduction: Elegance & Eccentricity
1 French/L’écriture
2 British/Scripts
3 German/Der Schrift
4 Italian/Il Corviso
5 American/Scripts


If you know the work of Fili and Heller, you might expect they'd have amassed a rather substantial collection of ephemera over the years. Heller, a former art director for the New York Times and well-known lecturer on the history of graphic design, has authored over 100 books on design and popular culture. Louise Fili, formerly a designer for Herb Lubalin and art director for Pantheon Books, has authored another twenty titles, many of them in collaboration with Heller (they are husband and wife).
