书籍介绍

We at The Type have been promoting public awareness of typography and design in the Chinese community for over ten years. Whether it is introducing Western typography theories and knowledge, or conducting independent research on Chinese typography in recent years, we are often concerned about the inadequate typography education in China as well as the lack of exchange we have with the international community. Chinese typography is not easy to tackle, but we believe that, by more self-initiated and open research, we are able to address our challenges under a global perspective and invite more discussions and breakthroughs to the field.

The Type is an independent project focusing on typography, design and society. Through writing, podcasting, events and other activities, it aims to deepen public understanding of the role of design and visual culture in society and promote research in the relevant fields.

Shanghai Type: a slice of modern Chinese type history
The development of Chinese type design since the foundation of the People’s Republic in 1949 cast significant influence to its contemporary developments. Yet it has remained as much a mystery to the outside world as to local designers. Thanks to the research throughout the Shanghai Type project, we attempt to illustrate a slice of the history of how modern Chinese type design began as a groundbreaking state-initiated endeavour, and then gradually faded in the age of market and commercialisation.
Transcultural Type Design: a dialogue from China
Among the Chinese-speaking designers, discourse around transcultural typography is still in its infancy. This small volume is the record of the first of a series of open discussions moderated by us, to address this global trend as well as the debate and strategies that come along in the Chinese context.

内容一般,但一百多的价格不太值。设计上,封面和内页排版不在一个水平,内页正文行间距太密,阅读体验很不好;注解部分排版太粗糙。装帧上,能不能不要用胶装,能不能换个好一点的内页纸张,敢不敢用彩图?不要搞得像赠送的小书一样。内容上,第一本讲字模厂的,讲的太浅了,第三本把排版换成排印更贴切。
开本真是太迷你了!
确实干货确实少 孔雀计划那本最为实操的迫切需要
很喜欢,可以收藏一下,給偶爾來訪的朋友讀來玩(當然前提是他們有興趣)
三本小书,很精致很可爱。自己平时也随便做一些文字排印,但多是靠直觉、乱试。看到《孔雀》这种理性的分析有点豁然开朗。《上海活字》一册讲了宋一、黑一那些铅字的故事,它们后来演变成最早数字化的宋体、黑体。《跨文化》是一些中国设计师还有歪果仁设计师乱七八糟的讨论。
略有些泛泛而谈…不过因此去听了thetype的播客,还是有所受益的。(有沒有發現跨文化那本有幾頁印歪了⋯
唯一不足是内容太少了
