Formal or casual?\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing 17 stunning interactive pop-ups, this ABC pop-up book explains--as well as demonstrates--the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms through the ages. Readers will learn about '60s psychedelic type by projecting light through a phototypesetting pop-up; how screen technology shaped letterforms by turning on and off anti-aliasing; or the aesthetics of typographic modularity by reconfiguring the puzzle pieces of Josef Albers' \u003ci\u003eKombinations-Schrift\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eType history is often technical and always visual. It is therefore challenging to fully explain in text or in diagrams alone. The book's interactive features provide a sensory inroad for curious general readers to grasp how typography has transformed through history (and how lettering can convey a point of view or philosophical stance). A 128-page companion essay section includes an essay further contextualizing each pop-up. \u003ci\u003eAlphabet in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e puts the reader's hands, eyes and minds in touch with the meanings behind the typography that surrounds us in our homes, on our screens and on our streets.
