Scripts. Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age

Steven Heller, Louise Fili

Scripts tend to fall in and out of fashion, but they are most definitely part of the typographic landscape today, and the more curious and distinctive they are, the better. Drawn from the Golden Age of Scripts, from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, this is the first compilation of popular, rare, and forgotten scripts from the United States, Germany, France, England, and Italy.
Filled with examples from a broad spectrum of sources—advertising, street signs, invitations, type-specimen books, personal letters — the book is a delightful and invaluable trove of long-overlooked material.
