Quatrième de couverture
- Mono is the new black
  Monospace is on the rise and the design scene is thrilled by it. Mono is the new Black addresses function, aesthetics, and originality of typefaces with fixed character widths, which have become an indispensable part of the visual landscape of digital and printed media.
  Beginning with a cultural-historical outline, Robert Steinmüller explores the relevant aspects of type history and reveals how closely interwoven type, technical progress, and social development are. Valuable and practice-oriented application tips as well as selected examples from very different areas form the centerpiece of his examination of non-proportional typefaces. The monograph is rounded off by a comprehensive, inspiring and in this form unique typeface compendium, in which both renowned classics and creative new creations are presented in a concise form.
