Letters and Lettering

This book represents a collection of images of letters throughout the centuries. It is intended for those who are interested in collecting or studying many different alphabets of standard forms that are arranged for convenient use.

The alphabets that are shown on the pictures not only present the shapes of the letters, but also show how those letters link one to another, composing words.

The application of the medieval and classic letters to the modern usages has been suggested by showing modern designs where forms similar to them are employed.

The practical aim of this book is to include many different illustrative examples, instead of just talk about the history and evolution of the letter forms.

In this book, you will find information and illustrations about the:

• Roman capitals
• Modern Roman letters
• Gothic letters
• Italic and script

Apart from these alphabets, at the end of the book you will also find a chapter devoted just for the beginner in which the author points to the things that every beginner should know.
