Modern Typography, 2nd Edition is a completely updated and revised edition of Robin Kinross's classic survey of European and North American typography since 1700, first published in 1992. In addition to numerous new illustrations and revised text, Modern Typography has been re-scaled to a new, convenient pocket format. Kinross's overview breaks ground by focusing on the history of typography as an intricate web of social, technical, and material processes, rather than a parade of typeface styles. Eye magazine calls Modern Typography the book that tells "how modern typography got to be the way it is." Together, Kinross's clear, concise writing combined with his extensive knowledge of the history of typography create a gold standard for how design history ought to be written.

Drucker skillfully traces the development of this critical position, suggesting a methodology closer to the actual practices of the early avant-garde artists based on a rereading of their critical and theoretical writings. After reviewing theories of signification, the production of meaning, and materiality, she analyzes the work of four poets active in the typographic experimentation of the 1910s and 1920s: Ilia Zdanevich, Filippo Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Tristan Tzara. Drucker explores the context for experimental typography in terms of printing, handwriting, and other practices concerned with the visual representation of language. Her book concludes with a brief look at the ways in which experimental techniques of the early avant-garde were transformed in both literary work and in applications to commercial design throughout the 1920s and early 1930s.

This is a style guide for making decisions about layout and typography. Drawing on a variety of sources, old and new, it presents an overview and analysis of two fundamentally different typographic approaches - the traditional style that evolved over centuries from the Renaissance book, and the modern style that reflects the German-Swiss philosophy of this century. Each style is a reflection of a particular philosophy; each has its own structure and its own set of procedures, priorities and rules. Each section of the book is a model of the style it presents and includes numerous examples, old and new. The book comes with two supplemental materials - a 48-page workbook provides exercises, samples, and specifications for reproducing page samples, grids, and layouts; an 800K disk contains layout templates for traditional and modern formats.
