An Modern Classics an Essay on Typography (Penguin… af Eric Gill
Uma boa forma de acompanhar a visão de um grande Tipógrafo do início do século XX. 100 anos desde então e observar que muito do que ele criticava à época, contra o excessivo industrialismo, observa-se sob postura similar em relação à excessiva digitalização. Mais do que abolir o status quo, refletir porque chegamos a esta percepção de arte, e se vale a pena continuar por esse caminho. Isso e muitas dicas valiosas na composição de livros.
Benché Gill sia oggi ricordato soprattutto come un artista della tipografia, non meno interessante fu il suo contributo teorico rispetto alla composizione tipografica. Questo saggio - il primo scritto da Gill - venne pubblicato in cinquecento esemplari nel giugno 1931 e nelle sue pagine, lucide e austere, si rispecchiano gli elementi di crisi propri di quel momento storico: in particolare, il conflitto tra industrializzazione e antiche procedure di stampa manuale, che oggi conosce inediti e allora impensabili sviluppi grazie all'elettronica. Fondatore della September Press, disegnatore di caratteri tra i quali, celebri, il Gill Sans (1929), il Perpetua (1929) e il Joanna (1930), l'inglese Eric Gill (1882-1940) è tra i massimi artisti dell'arte tipografica.… (mere)
A lovely little book about Gill's views on typography, written in the 1930's, so with asides regarding capitalism and handicrafts and also a strange final chapter about replacing letters with shorthand.
Last December I had the pleasure of hearing Michael Russem give a talk to the Ticknor Society on "Postage Stamps by Type Designers." Now Russem and Kat Ran Press have released Eric Gill's Notes on Postage Stamps, which includes Gill's short commentary on the subject (from the Eric Gill Archive, housed at UCLA's Clark Memorial Library), along with an essay by Russem on Gill's philatelic designs and fifty-six full-color illustrations of Gill's stamp designs and sketches (which are reproduced beautifully here).
Gill's no-holds-barred comments on stamp design and Russem's excellent synopsis of his work in the field are well worth a read; Gill felt that governments gave far too much weight to the "entirely sentimental views of philatelists and the general public," arguing that "Good lettering and figures and the simplest possible heraldic sign are sufficient for both beauty and nationality." As Russem notes, many of Gill's efforts at stamp design were not approved, and even those that were he often disliked in some way (of the George VI coronation stamp he wrote "Really the responsibility for the design is more the Post Office's than mine. I only drew the stuff as instructed").
A nicely-produced book on a fascinating aspect of typographical and philatelic history.
