Letters with relief and shadow are back in style. Introduced in metal type as early as 1815, these bold, monumental, architectural letterforms have been used over the decades on buildings and at large scales, attracting visitors and consumers. This book, now available in paperback, is the first compilation of dimensional letters from Germany, France, Britain, Italy, and the United States, drawn from a particularly rich history of Shadow Type, from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries.
