Description

The years 1925 to 1950 saw a flowering of modernist type design in the United States, inspired by often-political European ideas but Americanised for commercial advertising. The lively type scene in Chicago was dominated by the Ludlow Typograph Company and two talented 'type men' who together created dozens of beautiful typefaces. Their collaboration and its Chicago setting are narrated here for the first time and illustrated with over fifty full-page illustrations of Ludlow specimens and publicity material. Author Paul F Gehl is a noted historian and long-time printing and calligraphy curator at the Newberry Library.
