Overview
Women’s Type: Shaping Letters, Shaping History
Frutiger, Garamond, Renner – these are the names of typographers renowned in the industry for their iconic typefaces. But where are female typographers? Despite significant contributions, the field remains dominated by men, both in perception and recognition.
The author delves into this phenomenon of underrepresentation, aiming to enhance the visibility of female typographers and their typefaces while amplifying their creative voices within the industry. Alongside her exploration of the topic, the book showcases an inspiring collection of typefaces by talented women, each accompanied by a short biography. It is an invaluable resource for discovering typefaces when searching for fonts and highlights how female typographers continue to reshape and redefine the art of type design.
