We found this book in our letterbox yesterday. It is published by Hermann Schmidt, germany. Good to know that they are specialists for typography and that we know every book they give us is a good guide to typography.

About the book The book describes itself as a type navigation system. With direct and smart advices Ulysses Vielker, professor of typography and design, tries to lead the reader through function and effect, history and styles in typography. Within every single aspect he ads some good sources from books and other typographers. As he says it’s often like that there are lot’s of theory books about the topic typography out there, but are there really the right answers to using and playing with type. Mostly not…

We recommend this book to all typographers and designers who are willing to take the journey to better typographical understanding.

Tractor uppercase

Dado Queiroz from Amsterdam was commissioned by Dez Comunicação in Brazil to create an upper case alphabet for Massey Ferguson based on the shapes of Helvetica Neue—their corporate font—and using parts of their world-renowned products, such as tractors and pulverizers, taken out of photographs they provided. The biggest challenge was the relatively small number of source images he was able to work with, which constrained the quantity of “building blocks” available to make up the letters. That and harmonizing all the different kinds of lighting and levels of image quality from image to image.
