Synopsis
First published in 1953, this revised edition is aimed at students of book design, showing "classic" typefaces which have become accepted as standard in book production. It discusses 20 different typefaces, all cut by Monotype (many under Stanley Morison's direct supervision), telling the history behind the letters, who first cut them and why, how they were used, and how they should be used. Many of them have now been translated into digital settings for a new generation of typographers. The book describes Morison's role in the production of the typefaces, and how the modern versions became accessible under his direction. Each essay is set in the typeface it discusses.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Tally of Types was first circulated in a privately printed edition in 1953, achieving a fame and influence wholly disproportionate to the comparatively small number of copies in existence. In 1973 Cambridge University Press published a version edited and expanded by Brooke Crutchley and others, making this classic of typographical history and practice available to a wider readership; it is this edition we have reprinted here. Stanley Morison provided the impetus and judgement behind the programme of typographical revival carried through by the Monotype Corporation in the 1920s and early 1930s. The Tally is an account, historical, critical and functional, of the types cut under Morison's direction during this period. It is an impressive performance: a fine example of what is now recognised as Morison's characteristic blend of erudition and insight. What started as no more than an attempt to record the facts developed, under his hand, into one of the major statements of typographical practice of its time.
