- Summary:
- "Ming Romantic: Collected and Bound, 2nd Edition folds together reproductions of historical documents with contemporary texts to examine how Chinese typography can evolve through the use of digital tools and manipulation of form. The ebook also illustrates the design process of Ming Romantic, a display face reinterpreting a style of printed type originating in China's Song and Ming dynasties. The typeface imagines how the character set could look when divorced from the effects of the brush. Ming Romantic comprises three sections: "Possibilities: Typographic Speciation"; "Translations-Putting It Together: Conversations about Language & Form, Ming Romantic, and It's Our Ming"; and "Myths: Chinese Typography from Afar.""-- provided by distributor.
