Product Description
Today's computer technologies have allowed for the creation of new spaces for typographic communication. This collection of drawings, photographs,?and typefaces explores some of the ideas that might govern the logic of?three-dimensional type. It presents and analyzes letterforms based on both?traditional and contemporary typefaces, freely mixing historical?references and futuristic aspirations. Author J. Abbott Miller considers?the ways in which letters have become three-dimensional in certain genres?such as signage, and discusses how typefaces have incorporated the?illusion of dimensionality on the printed page.?

?Dimensional Typography is the first title in our new series?Kiosk Reports. Edited by J. Abbott Miller and Ellen Lupton, this?inexpensive, small-format line of books will explore current ideas on?graphic design, much as our Pamphlet Architecture series does for?architecture.

Typography into the third dimension March 9, 1997

This is a fantasticly visual book. While many of the ideas that are shown are either too simplistic or overly complex the book still ends up being top notch. The only downside to this book is that it leaves you wanting more

Experimental Typographic Extrapolation February 2, 1997
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This "book" is a catalyst. It presents case studies in 3D typography that have the potential of starting a mental fire. It is both abstract and revealing; smallish but full of energy. The value of this book is not in its content, but in its ability to get the creative wheels turning
