Krátky popis
The classic elegant English typeface, still widely used as a book
text more than 250 years since its creation. Baskerville is a
transitional design, poised between the first metal types and
modern styles, notable for its combination of fat and thin strokes.
When it was first used there was genuine concern that it would
damage readers' eyes.John Baskerville was a maverick lacquer maker
and printer in Birmingham, a flamboyant dresser, an important
figure in the Enlightenment. Though it earned him little money, he
was obsessive about both his typeface and its appearance on the
page, a perfectionism culminating in his magnificent Bible. The
story encompasses one of the first powerful women of the printing
world, his wife Sarah Baskerville, and the many typefaces the
Baskervilles inspired.And it examines why John Baskerville's body
was dug up and buried many times before it was finally allowed to
rest in peace.
