Riccardo Olocco, Michele Patanè — Designing Type Revivals
About
Reviving a historical typeface is not tracing it. The originals were cut in metal at a single size, printed on damp paper and spread by ink, so what survives on the page is already an accident of process as much as a record of intent.
Olocco and Patanè set out a method for working through that. The book moves in four parts: what a revival actually is and where its boundaries lie, a framework for recording the design features of a historical model, that framework applied to the roman Francesco Griffo cut for the De Aetna of 1496, and then the process of reviving it.
Written for designers and scholars alike, and useful well past the scope of revival work. Preface by Gerry Leonidas.
