  • The Impact of the Historical Development of Typography on Modern Classification of Typefaces
    M. Tomiša et al. Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) UDC/UDK 655.26:003.2 THE IMPACT OF THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TYPOGRAPHY ON MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF TYPEFACES Mario Tomiša, Damir Vusić, Marin Milković Original scientific paper One of the definitions of typography is that it is the art of arranging typefaces for a specific project and their arrangement in order to achieve a more effective communication. In order to choose the appropriate typeface, the user should be well-acquainted with visual or geometric features of typography, typographic rules and the historical development of typography. Additionally, every user is further assisted by a good quality and simple typeface classification. There are many different classifications of typefaces based on historical or visual criteria, as well as their combination. During the last thirty years, computers and digital technology have enabled brand new creative freedoms. As a result, there are thousands of fonts and dozens of applications for digitally creating typefaces. This paper suggests an innovative, simpler classification, which should correspond to the contemporary development of typography, the production of a vast number of new typefaces and the needs of today's users. Keywords: character, font, graphic design, historical development of typography, typeface, typeface classification, typography Utjecaj povijesnog razvoja tipografije na suvremenu klasifikaciju pisama Izvorni znanstveni članak Jedna je od definicija tipografije da je ona umjetnost odabira odgovarajućeg pisma za određeni projekt i njegova organizacija s ciljem ostvarenja što učinkovitije komunikacije. Da bi korisnik mogao odabrati pravo pismo za svoje potrebe treba prije svega dobro poznavati optičke ili geometrijske značajke tipografije, tipografska pravila i povijesni razvoj tipografije.

  • Typography with the IBM Selectric Composer Adrian Frutiger
    Typography with the IBM Selectric Composer Adrian Frutiger The place of the IBM Selectric Composer in the evolution of bookmaking pro­ cesses is outlined: it provides a return to directness and simplicity, combined with the speed of mechanization. Some restrictions and problems which the new machine poses for the type designer are described. The article was origin­ ally presented as a lecture at Gallery 303 in New York City last fall. It has been composed on the IBM Selectric Composer in the Univers face which the author adapted to the machine. Reproducing Our Letterforms To explain the place that the IBM Selectric Composer has assumed in our trade, I have drawn up the plan shown in Figure 1. ( 1) In the Middle Ages a calligrapher prepares by pen one copy of a book: this is the most direct progress from the idea to the graphic "imprisonment." The author can make his book by him­ self. (2) The need for a greater diffusion of ideas encourages book workers in the Middle Ages to invent wood-engraving and printing on a press: the result is faster duplication of copies but the neces­ sity of cooperation of two specialists, the engraver and the printer. Already the author can no longer make his book by himself. (3) The process becomes more complicated: founding of movable letters, composing, paging, printing require the cooperative skills of several trades. (4) Mechanical composition further multiplies the bookmaking processes, including punching tape, founding, paging, and printing. (5) At last, photocomposition becomes really the faster way to compose: we speak in terms of a million letters per second.

  • Avenir, the Future for Amsterdam
    Avenir, the future for Amsterdam By Henk Gianotten, August 07th 2003, In recent decades the capital of the Netherlands has experienced both, rapid growth and the decentralization of its local government and all in a period when the expectations of its citizens and visitors were becoming more varied and demanding. With all these changes the city council and its allied services felt an increasing need for a unifying visual identity that would be inextricably bound to the culture of their organization. An identity flexible enough to represent the diverse services within the municipality, yet links each of these with the larger whole. This unifying style also needed to make a confident visual statement for use on printed material, packaging, clothing, website, and a fleet of city-owned vehicles. Certainly the search for this new and clearly defined “face” would be an almost impossible task to present to designers. Deciding on a new “visual identity” for non-profit and government organizations, then developing and maintaining it is an extremely difficult process, that is largely dependent on the components that make up the total identity. It is far easier to create a unified appearance for two hundred shoe stores than it is to create a visual style that links tens of distinctly different departments and services of one local authority. To fully appreciate the complexity of this image-change it is necessary to look at the history of Amsterdam. It has always been a very liberal city, and its municipal services, like its citizens, have evolved within a system long accustomed to a great diversity of opinionated “faces”.
