Not To Put Too Fine a Point on It
ebook edition
If you're interested in type, printing, and language and where they intersect, you'll enjoy this book of ten researched and reported articles written in 2016 and 2017.
Details
I look into the origin of CAPITAL LETTERS used for SHOUTING, why we type > to indicate a quoted part of reply, the resurgence of letterpress through digital assistance, Walt Whitman's 1889 poem "A Font of Type," a web site archiving itself for 10,000 years, and the surprising origin of "this page intentionally left blank" — and more!
This ebook is an outgrowth of my year spent as Designer in Residence at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, where I printed a letterpress edition with six of these articles. The residency spurred me to research and write more, and this expanded ebook is the result.
