(Preface) 'The rise and rise of new media has brought about a revolution in graphic expression, primarily through typography. With a relatively basic desktop computer and access to the Internet, today independent designers can produce and distribute fonts around the world. While countless books provide showcases for the latest typographic design, Emotional Digital is the first to document the latest typefaces presented by the designers who created them. Invited to submit their best printed media, the fifty most influential international foundries reveal an incredibly wide spectrum of work - from brochures and flyers to postcards, type-specimen books and posters - that shows just how expressive and personal type can be.
Foundries are organised alphabetically, and hundreds of fonts have been selected for their originality, impact and longevity. In many cases they have been created and applied by the same person, so the designer's original vision, from 'cutting' the typeface to the final printed or digital result, can be seen as a continuous pro-cess. Many of the fonts are already or destined to become classics in advertising, books, magazines and on the Internet.
A useful reference section contains lists of typefaces and designers, making often obscure sources accessible in a single indispensable document.Emotional Digital is the ultimate resource for designers, art directors and typophiles everywhere.'
