Symbols Signs Letters

This one combines Professor Martin Andersch’s observations on the state of lettering in the twentieth century (circa 1989) with exquisite and elegantly reproduced examples of calligraphy produced in his classes. Discussing the origins and evolution of letters, from the hand-carved and hand-drawn to typographic and computer-generated alphabets, Andersch notes the expressive potential of lettering in all its forms. This’ll serve as a source of education and inspiration for calligraphers, fine artists, and designers seeking new means of conveying thoughts and emotions through the visual. Loaded with limit-pushing lettering.
