Type and Color: How to Design and Use Multicolored Typefaces

摘要

In Type and Color: How to Design and Use Multicolored Typefaces, author Mark van Wageningen, principal of the type foundry Novo Type, explores the design and future of multicolored typefaces. The book's heart surrounds van Wageningen's personal project designing a multicolored typeface, named Bixa, originally designed for letterpress and then converted to a digital typeface for both print and Web. In presenting Bixa's design, van Wageningen also addresses essential theory and the how-to on designing fonts for the reader. Type and Color is a beautiful book for typophiles who love both type and color.
