Book excerpt: Roger Excoffon : un nom qui ne dit pas grand-chose à l'homme de la rue. Et pourtant... Si cet homme de la rue est né en France entre 1930 et aujourd'hui, il a forcément côtoyé l'une de ses créations. Typographe de talent (on lui doit les caractères Mistral, Banco, Choc ou Antique Olive) puis publicitaire (il a réalisé des centaines d'affiches et de logos, comme celui d'Air France), Roger Excoffon est probablement un de ceux dont l'oeuvre splendide accompagne chacun de nos pas, habite l'inconscient collectif avec le plus de force. Ses caractères étaient entiers, habités d'une force et d'une personnalité peu communes ; ils furent utilisés massivement dans les années 1950 et 1960, habillant nombre bars-tabacs, salons de coiffure et autres boulangeries, se parant d'une couleur et d'une connotation qui furent aussi à l'origine de leur désintérêt quelques années plus tard ; volontiers désuets, profondément français, esthétiquement éblouissants, ils font partie intégrante de notre histoire et de notre culture. Cette monographie bilingue français et anglais qui s'intéresse autant au typographe qu'au publicitaire, à l'homme qu'à l'artiste, signée David Rault (graphiste et journaliste, directeur de la collection Atelier Perrousseaux et membre de l'Atypi, à qui l'on doit le Guide pratique de choix typographique), comprend une biographie articulée autour d'un entretien inédit que Roger Excoffon avait accordé à François Richaudeau en 1977, une iconographie importante (avec des photographies rares de Jean Dieuzaide et des gouaches provenant de collections privées jamais publiées jusqu'alors) et des participations exceptionnelles signées Massin, Peter Knapp, José Mendoza y Almeida, Jean-François Porchez, François Richaudeau, Yves Crrousseaux et Hrant Papazian.

Book excerpt: This stylishly illustrated book looks back at the future of air travel and is as sleek and elegant as the Concorde aircraft it celebrates - now in an enlarged edition. When the first commercial Concorde flights zoomed off the runways in Paris and London in the late 1960s, crossing the Atlantic in just under three hours, they established a new standard for luxury flight. Powered by 38,000 pounds of thrust and easily recognizable with its delta wing and drooping nose, the Concorde jet embodied the pinnacle of aviation technology and industrial design. It quickly became the preferred mode of transatlantic flight for superstars and business moguls alike. Opening with a lively history of the jet and how it changed travel, the book focuses on the look and feel of the Concorde. Photos of the jet's evolving interiors show how the original, starkly designed cabin gave way to luxury seats and interiors designed by the likes of Raymond Loewy, Sir Terence Conran and Andrée Putman. Filled with fascinating historical and technical background, and drawn from the author's personal collection of more than one thousand Concorde-related objects, this elegant book offers rarely seen historical photography and firsthand contributions from the people who helped create the Concorde experience from take-off to landing and beyond.

Book excerpt: An illuminating account of the design inspirations and technical transformations that have shaped the digital typefaces of the 21st century In this fascinating tour through typographic history, Paul Shaw provides a visually rich exploration of digital type revival. Many typefaces from the pre-digital past have been reinvented for use on computers and mobile devices, while other new font designs are revivals of letterforms, drawn from inscriptions, calligraphic manuals, posters, and book jackets. Revival Type deftly introduces these fonts, many of which are widely used, and engagingly tells their stories. Examples include translations of letterforms not previously used as type, direct revivals of metal and wood typefaces, and looser interpretations of older fonts. Among these are variations on classic designs by John Baskerville, Giambattista Bodoni, William Caslon, Firmin Didot, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon, and Nicolas Jenson, as well as typefaces inspired by less familiar designers, including Richard Austin, Philippe Grandjean, and Eudald Pradell. Updates and revisions of 20th-century classics such as Palatino, Meridien, DIN, Metro, and Neue Haas Grotesk (Helvetica) are also discussed. Handsomely illustrated with annotated examples, archival material depicting classic designs, and full character sets of modern typefaces, Revival Type is an essential introduction for designers and design enthusiasts into the process of reinterpreting historical type.
