David Jury explains how the need for typographic ornaments arose and developed, and sets them in their historical context. The Little Book of Typographic Ornament will be an invaluable reference for graphic designers, as well as providing a source of copyright-free images.. This little book contains a beautiful and varied collection of typographic ornaments sourced from specimen books of type foundries, dating from 1700. The chapters cover natural forms; geometric forms; rules and borders; wreaths, borders and scrolls; and pictorial ornaments. The last chapter charts the rise of the graphic designer over the last century, and how modern designers are now reinterpreting these typographic ornaments into new forms of art

Five Stars I love typography and typographic ornaments. This book is perfect.. Adington said Great Reference and Resource With Some Flaws. A robust book as much reference as resource but not without its niggling flaws.First off, the value offered here is immense. 7"Great Reference and Resource With Some Flaws" according to Adington. A robust book as much reference as resource but not without its niggling flaws.First off, the value offered here is immense. 720 rules, borders, and printer’s flowers are spread across 7 categorical chapters each containing an essay and limited examples of use.All illustrations are large, sufficient enough to study—and the hardcover book itself, though not coffee table-sized, is satisfyingly thick. All illustrations are offered as monotones ranging from black to brown, violet to red and all are numbered.What’s stunning, however, in addition to the absence of true color, is the lack of context. . 0 rules, borders, and printer’s flowers are spread across 7 categorical chapters each containing an essay and limited examples of use.All illustrations are large, sufficient enough to study—and the hardcover book itself, though not coffee table-sized, is satisfyingly thick.
