Does anyone know any specific reference? An example for this classicals Roman, images, dates... thaks Link to comment
Member Ree… Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I haven't had a chance to start it yet, but Christopher Burke's Paul Renner is likely to answer that question. Link to comment
Member Cha… Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Renner himself in his 1922 book "Typografie als Kunst." Before he did the first drawing for what would become Futura he said that all of European writing is based on Roman versals, that were themselves defined by the most basic and distinct of graphic forms; the circle, the square, and the triangle. Covered in my thesis. https://typography.guru/forums/topic/28165-forwarding Link to comment
