The role of typeface categorization systems in the typographic education of the printer: a corrective legacy still with us today

DIXON, Catherine ;

Full Article:

This paper traces the origins of current classificatory tools to the early typeface categorizations developed for use within the printing trade over a century ago. It identifies a set of corrective values underpinning these early categorizations passed on through the influence of the Vox system and a problem of bias. It locates in the scholarship of Nicolete Gray, an alternative perspective in constructing more representative overviews of typeform design.
