Today typography has jumped off the printed page to stand on its own as branding, sculpture, and even architecture. Lettering Large examines this phenomenon through a diverse collection of images collected from a vast range of sources around the world. As technology has made construction and production of monumental letters possible, the demand for their design has grown exponentially. Type is ever more in the environment and this book is the first to chronicle the literal and figurative growth of letters as imposing presences on the urban landscape. Preeminent graphic design and typographic commentator and historian Steve Heller teams with Mirko Ilic, a noted graphic designer and colleague of Walter Bernard and Milton Glaser, to select the most dramatic and telling examples culled from sites across the United States and throughout Europe and Asia.
