Summary:
L'ornementation typographique a connu diverses fortunes dans l'histoire de la création graphique. Elle a été portée aux nues par des mouvements comme l'Arts & Crafts ou rejetée par d'autres comme le Bauhaus. Après avoir longtemps disparu du paysage graphique, elle effectue aujourd'hui un retour en force spectaculaire. Cet ouvrage propose de montrer comment les graphistes, illustrateurs et typographes actuels intègrent des caractères calligraphiés, illustrés, ornementés, expressifs, dans leurs projets personnels ou commerciaux. Ce panorama foisonnant est divisé en trois parties - la première consacrée aux influences des Styles et périodes du passé, la deuxième à la prédominance des motifs issus de la nature et la troisième au grand éclectisme qui règne dans ce domaine. Dans chaque partie, des modules thématiques présentent les principaux styles et motifs de ce renouveau typographique : " victorien ", " psychédélique ", " fleurs ", " liquide " ou encore " chaotique " et " puzzle ". Le point de vue passionnant des auteurs, leur sélection pointue et originale font de Nouvelle Typographie ornementale un ouvrage de référence et une superbe source d inspiration pour les amoureux de la typographie.

Summary:
Long before the internet and its vast stores of information in digital form, information in analog form needed to be organized so that it was legible and accessible. One designer who revolutionized the presentation of printed information was modernist pioneer Ladislav Sutnar (1897–1976). In 1950, Sutnar and architect K. Lonberg-Holm published Catalog Design Progress, a guide to modernizing the design of printed materials through typographic simplicity, compositional ingenuity, and navigational devices that signal the logical flow of information. This meticulously created facsimile of the original book illustrates and enacts Sutnar's ideas, making clear their continuing influence on graphic design.
