This is a second Korean edition of Modern Typography (London: Hyphen Press, 1992), first published in Korea by Specter Press in 2009.
“A brisk tour through the history of Western typography, from the time (c.1700 in France and England) when it can be said to have become ‘modern’. A spotlight is directed at different cultures in different times, to trace the developments and shifts in modern typography. Attention is given to ideas, to social context, and to technics, thus stepping over the limited and tired tropes of stylistic analysis.” (From the website of Hyphen Press)
