An Alphabet for the Underground: The Work and Legacy of Edward Johnston

English

By (author): M.A.C. Horne

In order to put Johnston''s work in context, historian and transport professional Mike Horne had to make a deep study of the development of printing from the introduction of moveable type to today''s electronic typesetting. In this, his last published work, he examines the technical merits of Johnston''s alphabet designs and corrects some common misconceptions. What were the qualities that distinguished Johnston''s lettering when introduced in 1916, and are they still valid today? Are Transport for London''s signs and posters still fit for purpose? This thought-provoking book provides some unexpected answers. See more
