Typography Tuesday

We return to our facsimile of a 16th-cnetury calligraphic manuscript, Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta, or Model Book of Calligraphy, written in 1561/62 by Georg Bocskay, the Croatian-born court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, and illuminated 30 years later by Flemish painter Joris Hoefnagel for the grandson of Ferdinand I, Emperor Rudolph II. The manuscript was produced by Bocskay in Vienna to demonstrate his technical mastery of the immense range of writing styles known to him. To complement and augment Bocskay's calligraphy, Hoefnagel added fruit, flowers, and insects to nearly every page, composing them so as to enhance the unity and balance of the page’s design. Although the two never met, the manuscript has an uncanny quality of collaboration about it.

Our facsimile was the first facsimile produced from the collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. It was printed in Lausanne, Switzerland by Imprimeries Reunies and published by Christopher Hudson in 1992.

Artist’s Book! Twilight of Orthodoxy in New England (1987)

Lots happening in this gorgeous (and interesting) book designed by D’Ambrosio. The gold cast-paper decoration in the shape of flames (or setting sun) from the cover is reproduced in a cut out on the title page. The name on the title page is a pseudonym.

The sound made by the creaking of the leather spine is intended to evoke the preacher on horseback. (We agree that it does!)

Tanis, Norman E. The Twilight of Orthodoxy in New England. Northridge [Calif.]: Santa Susana Press, 1987.

Made a new graphic of this font for my portfolio, since I didn't particularly care about the last one.

Typography Tuesday

Last month, the Milwaukee Public Library's Arts & Media Department held its first Art Book Club session. Intended as an informal art book appreciation club that meets once a month in the Art, Music, and Recreation room, each session explores a different theme by looking at the wide variety of art materials in the collection. The collection is historical, non-circulating, and vast. I attended and spent an hour and a half mesmerized by the array of luscious materials presented.

There was design, architecture, fashion, and much more. As a type nerd, I was especially drawn to the several late 19th- and early 20th-century type specimen books on the tables. Here, for example, are some pages of chromatic initials by various European and American companies from Schriften Atlas, compiled by Ludwig Petzendorfer and published in Stuttgart by Julius Hoffmann in 1898.

MPL held its second Art Book Club session on the theme of "Animals" last night, but I missed it because I was conducting an evening instruction session. Dang! But I'll be attending future sessions when I can and I'll keep y'all apprised.

View other type specimen books.

For @the-wayside

This wound up as brushwork calligraphy because Kinn and Porsche are messy as hell in a delightful sort of way in this story.

Go read the story!

Type Ornament Tuesday: Meta!

We love this type ornament head-piece that features a book. One MUST believe that the tiny ornaments within this decorative book ALSO feature books, and thus it is books all the way down.

This is from a 1755 English work on diseases mentioned in the bible.

Mead, Richard. Medica sacra; or, a commentary on the most remarkable diseases, mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. London: J. Brindley, 1755.

Top Ten Tuesday - Typographic Book Covers

Top Ten Tuesday – Typographic Book Covers

As a graphic designer, I just had to do this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl – Typographic Book Covers. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but it is after all the first thing you notice. Even when I don’t end up buying a book, it gladdens my heart to see typography that’s beautiful, fun and creative. To make it a bit more challenging, I decided to restrict the covers to…
