Description
If you’re interested in type, printing, and language and where they intersect, you’ll enjoy this book of ten researched and reported articles written in 2016 and 2017. It looks into the origin of CAPITAL LETTERS used for SHOUTING, why we type > to indicate a quoted part of reply, the resurgence of letterpress through digital assistance, Walt Whitman’s 1889 poem “A Font of Type,” a web site archiving itself for 10,000 years, and the surprising origin of “this page intentionally left blank”—and more!
