Die Schriftmischung ist eine der großen Herausforderungen und gleichzeitig ein steter Reiz für Typografen und Gestalter: Soll sie opulent, nur begrenzt oder am besten gar nicht stattfinden? Welche Schriften harmonieren miteinander, welche nicht? Welche ergänzen sich, lassen sich gar gegenseitig steigern? Die Fachliteratur bietet da wenig Hilfestellung. Dieses Handbuch zeigt, dass sich für das Mischen von Schriften Kriterien bestimmen lassen. Es vermittelt durch das detaillierte Betrachten der Schriftgestalt und eine erneuerte Schriftklassifikation ein vertieftes Verständnis für die Vielfalt an Schriftformen und erarbeitet durch die systematische Analyse von Analogie und Kontrast die dringend benötigten Erkenntnisse zum Kombinieren von Schriften. Ein unverzichtbares Standardwerk für Typografen und Grafikdesigner.

Combining typefaces is one of the great challenges and, at the same time, a continuing allure for typographers and designers: is it meant to be extravagant or should it only be carried out to a limited degree or, ideally, not at all? Which fonts harmonize with each other, and which don’t? Which ones complement each other or even enhance each other? There are few answers to be found in the professional literature. This handbook demonstrates that it is possible to determine criteria for the combining of typefaces. By looking at the shape of typefaces in detail and creating a revised classification of fonts, it conveys a deeper understanding of the diversity of typefaces and, based on a systematic analysis of analogy and contrast, it establishes the urgently necessary findings required for combining typefaces. An indispensable standard work for typographers and graphic designers.
