Anmärkning: Innehållsbeskrivning, sammanfattning Junk Type is a project driven by the passion of one man to document a disappearing aspect of American culture. Bill Rose--aka Recapturist--is a photographer and designer who has spent the last decade traveling across America looking for junkyards, yard sales, antique stores, and other unlikely sources of inspiration to capture examples of postwar American typography and design before they're lost forever. Bringing together more than 400 images, this invaluable book is a visual history of postwar America, told through the distinct typography, icons, badges, and branding of the country's industrial heritage. From Art Deco inspired fonts and unique handmade cursive lettering to illustrated insignia and clean graphic logos bearing the influence of European design of the 1960s, these pictures together represent an encyclopedic reference of creative typefaces and graphics. With each photograph representing just a detail--an embossed logo, a specially created icon, or an advertising slogan this book captures the optimism and pragmatism of a golden age of American industrial creativity and distills it into a charming resource for anyone with an eye (or nostalgia) for vintage design.

An unusual collection of American typography as it appears on packaging and labels of classic tools, products, and other vintage and industrial items. Will appeal to anyone with nostalgia for Americana, bringing to life classic vintage American design the like of which is disappearing from popular consumption. Could be a valuable reference for design / typography students and should also appeal to anyone with an eye for vintage interiors / type / signage - so should work as an impulse-buy or gift book too.
A unique visual reference of beautiful vintage American design and typography.
