The rise and rise of new media has resulted in an explosion of new creativity in the field of typography and graphics. Emotional Digital is a wide-ranging, international selection of today’s most beautiful and exciting typefaces introduced by the designers and publishers themselves.
From the cult status designers of Emigre, San Francisoc to LettError, The Hague Thirsttype, Chicago Typerware in Barcelona, the comic alphabets of Rian Hughes to the character-filled typeface of Alessio Leonardi, Emotional Digital offers stimuli for typeface design and layout.
A wide range of fonts devised by international cutting-edge graphic design companies are stylishly presented in full-colour spreads. Each profile includes information on where and when the company originates, awards and characteristics of their work. Some of the designers, Erik Spiekermann Suzanna Licko and Michael Horsham of Tomato, have contributed accompanying essays, which examine how they have conquered the world of graphic design and advertising.
Contemporary typedesigns are shown in the context of their first use, showing their importance to the message itself, making Emotional Digital an essential book for students and practitioners of typography and graphics and a great resource for anyone working in the field of design.
