  • 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.

  • Fonturi Sans Serif Sau Fonturi Cu Serife?
    Fonturi sans serif sau fonturi cu serife? Disputa serif versus sans serif este una epică. Ca și în cazurile Mac vs. PC, Adidas vs. Nike, Cola vs. Pepsi, etc. există argumente pro și contra, diferențe de gusturi și opinii, dar niciuna dintre părți nu deține adevărul absolut. Aflați în cele ce urmează mai multe despre cele două tipuri de fonturi și câteva sfaturi de folosire a lor. Fonturile cu serife Fonturile cu serife își au originea în alfabetul roman inventat în timpul Imperiului Roman, exemplul clasic fiind majusculele de pe coloana lui Traian (113 e.n.), deși primele inscripții cu caractere cu serife provin din Grecia antică (secolele IV-II î.e.n.). Originea lor nu este stabilită clar: Edward Catich, în studiul său, “The Origin of the Serif”, consideră că serifele sunt o rămășiță a procesului de pictare a literelor pe piatră înainte de sculptarea efectivă cu dalta. Originea cuvântului în sine nu este clară, cele mai credibile explicații fiind cea din Dictionarul Oxford de Limba Engleză potrivit căruia cuvântul s-a format dupa apariția lui “sanserif”, citat în Dictionarul Oxford în 1841 și cea oferită de un al doilea dictionar, Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, care leagă noțiunea de cuvântul “schreef” care în olandeză înseamnă “linie” sau “semn de peniță”. Clasificarea pe scurt a fonturilor cu serife (old style, transitional, modern, latin serif și slab serif) o puteți reciti în articolul “Type, typeface și tipuri de fonturi” (http://typography.ro/2008/11/23/type-typeface-si-tipuri-de-fonturi/), dar o voi relua și în cele ce urmează mai detaliat: Old Style: apărute în secolele al XV-lea și al XVI-lea în timpul Renașterii, au avut drept inspirație inițialele romane și minuscula carolingiană, motiv pentru care se mai numesc și “anticve” sau “antique”, termen folosit de altfel pentru toate fonturile create după epoca “Blackletter”.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106 - 1346 20618054 2 The Evolution of the Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978 Abstract The thesis traces the evolution of the printed image of the Bengali script from its inception in movable metal type to its current status in digital photocomposition. It is concerned with identifying the factors that influenced the shaping of the Bengali character by examining the most significant Bengali type designs in their historical context, and by analyzing the composing techniques employed during the past two centuries for printing the script. Introduction: The thesis is divided into three parts according to the different methods of type manufacture and composition: 1. The Development of Movable Metal Types for the Bengali Script Particular emphasis is placed on the early founts which lay the foundations of Bengali typography.

The scripts of South Asia, which mainly derive from the Brahmi script, afford a visible voice to the numerous linguistic communities that form over one fifth of the world’s population. However, the transition of these visually diverse scripts from chirographic to typographic form has been determined by historical processes that were rarely conducive to accurately rendering non-Latin scripts. This essay provides a critical evaluation of the historical technological impacts on typographic textual composition in South-Asian languages. It draws on resources from relevant archival collections to consider within a historical context the technological constraints that have been crucial in determining the textural appearance of South-Asian typography.

  • Calligraphic Tendencies in the Development of Sanserif Types in the Twentieth Century
    Keith Tam 62 Calligraphic tendencies in the development of sanserif types in the twentieth century Abstract Dissertation submitted in Sanserif typefaces are often perceived as something inextricably linked partial fulfillment of the to ideals of Swiss modernism. They are also often thought of as some- requirements for the thing as far as one can get from calligraphic writing. Yet, throughout Master of Arts in Typeface Design, University of the twentieth century and especially in the past decade or so, the design Reading, 2002 of sanserif typefaces have been consistently inspired by calligraphic writing. This dissertation hence explores the relationship between calli- graphic writing and the formal developments of sanserif typefaces in the twentieth century. Although type design is an inherently different dis- cipline from writing, conventions of calligraphic writing did and still do impose certain important characteristics on the design of typefaces that modern readers expect. This paper traces and analyzes the formal devel- opments of sanserif typefaces through the use of written forms. It gives a historical account of the development of sanserif typefaces by charting six distinct phases of sanserif designs that were in some ways informed by calligraphic writing: • Humanist sanserifs: Britain 1900s • Geometric sanserifs: 1920s–30s • Contrast sanserifs: 1920s–50s • Sanserif as a book type: 1960s–80s • Neo-humanist sanserifs: 1990s Three primary ways to create calligraphic writing, namely the broadnib pen, flexible pointed pen and monoline pen are studied and linages drawn to how designers imitate or subvert the conventions of these tools. These studies are put into historical perspective and links made to the contexts of use.

Typography and advertising both have been researched significantly all over the world but mainly as a two separate disciplines without showing the importance of their connection. The aim of my thesis is to fill that gap and show the significance of typography in advertising and their relationship in the communication process. The approach undertaken in this thesis is mainly theoretical, including statistics, a survey, a case study and an analysis of literature from various sources in the field of the research. I have analysed the factors that make typography suitable and effective for advertising purposes. With this research I am able to confirm that the use of typography and type for advertising purposes is slightly different than its use for other purposes. I am hoping that my work will make designers and advertisers more aware of the importance of typography in the creation of advertisements and that they will make better use of it.
