Summary:
Julian Rothenstein turns his idiosyncratic eye towards eccentric alphabets, emblems, and logos discovered in avant-garde modernist publications and other curious sources. Hundreds of examples of graphic ephemera sit side-by-side, mixing peculiar charm with useful reference in one package. Special features include an alphabet, circa 1926, created from photographs of a dancing woman; original test-types for opticians’ charts; pages from sign artists’ manuals; and designs from fin de siècle French, German, Italian, and Czech journals. Nearly all of this material is reproduced here for the first time since its original publication.
