Summary: Function, Restraint, and Subversion in Typography is a survey of minimalist and brutalist typography in contemporary graphic design. Going beyond the idea of "less is more" or a trend toward "a new elegance," this collection documents the work of twenty-four graphic design practices from around the world that engage in design schemes dominated by aggressively simple typography. Lavishly illustrated and with commentary by author J. Namdev Hardisty, Function, Restraint, and Subversion in Typography explores innovative posters, books, signage, and other forms of print design by today's most original designers.Summary: Featured designers include: A Practice For Everyday Life, Browns, Anthony Burrill, Daniel Eatock, Xavier Encinas, Experimental Jetset, Graphic Thought Facility, Hey Ho, Hudson-Powell, Zak Kyes, MGMT, Mike Mills, Rune Mortensen, Neue, Project Projects, Manuel Raeder, Research and Development, Matthew Rezac, SEA, Spin, Studio Temp, Walker Art Center, John Wiese, and YES. --Book Jacket.
