Yearbook of Type, Vol. 2

-New edition with new fonts
-Detailed presentation of the individual fonts
-Comprehensive background information
-Index with classification

The ever-increasing digitalization of media has radically transformed the development and distribution of new typefaces. Desktop publishing and programs for designing your own fonts have enabled a previously unimaginable wealth of new typefaces. To keep this welcome diversity transparent, the Yearbook of Type II presents a selection of new releases from around the world—from major type publishers to small, independent typographers and foundries.

This independent compendium presents the individual typefaces and font families on a double-page spread, providing both visual impressions and background information and detailed information about their features. A section of essays also offers background knowledge, technical aspects, instructions, and descriptions from the industry. The publication serves as inspiration and assistance for designers and agencies in selecting typefaces, but as a catalog and reference work, it also appeals to anyone interested in contemporary typefaces and type design.
