Robin Kinross provides a comprehensive critical history of Western typography, tracing its evolution from the onset of modernity to the contemporary era. By examining the social, technical, and material contexts of practice, the text moves beyond stylistic analysis to explore the intellectual foundations of the field. It features detailed accounts of modernist movements in Central Europe and Switzerland, alongside sympathetic examinations of traditional printing practices in the United States, Great Britain, and the Low Countries.
