fonts, typefaces and all things typographical — I love Typography (ILT) Calligraphie : accueil de l'atelier version 1 La galerie récente sur FACEBOOK (accès libre) Calligraphy Letterform Album 'Kalligraphische Schriftvorlagen' (calligraphic writing styles) was produced in the 1620s in Germany by the scribe, Johann Hering. Johann Hering (?1580-1647) compiled his album of elaborate calligraphic letterforms, innovative type arrangements and traditional alphabets over a ten year period in the 1620s and 1630s in the Kulmbach region of Bavaria. (Or it was produced sometime during this time frame: it's not clear) I tend to believe - and I may well be wrong - that Hering's album is more along the lines of a practice manuscript for himself rather than being a true copybook or modelbook* for educational purposes. The majority of the writing is in German (with occasional Latin) and many of the written pages are obviously copied from the bible, particularly the Book of Psalms. [*Modelbooks: see here & here] There is next to nothing by way of commentary online about either Hering's life or the background to his amazing album.

Stereotypes — Type Design and Lettering Letras Latinas Original Works of Jean Larcher straight calligraphy.... Faculty Exhibition "Celebration 2003" Delaware/Ohio © Welcome to Baseline Magazine Editions: Bodoni Tipografico The Typographic Manual of Giambattista Bodoni is the greatest monument ever constructed to the art of printing from metal types. The two-volume work contains a dazzling array of 142 roman alphabets (with corresponding italics), numerous script and exotic typefaces, and a striking collection of flowers and ornaments. These typefaces and decorative materials were the culmination of more than forty years of devotion by Bodoni to the typographic arts, both in his capacity as printer to the Duke of Parma, and as the owner of his own private press and typefoundry. The son of a master printer, Bodoni held to four principles from which a good typeface derives its beauty: uniformity of design, smartness and neatness, good taste, and charm. The original book imaged for this digital edition: 13 1/8 x 9 inches (333 x 229 mm)
