Individual sections of the book display a rich variety of typefaces in categories such as Condensed, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Rustic, Thick-and-tin, Calligraphic, Uncials, Latins, and Blackletter. Samples are imaginatively presented. "Stagecoach," for example, is printed in Fargo typeface, evoking dusty trails, rawhide, and ten-gallon hats, while "Sizzling summer savings" appears appropriately in the flamboyant Firebug typeface. All typefaces are indexed for quick and easy reference. As entertaining as it is practical and useful, this impressive treasury of versatile typefaces and optical effects will be indispensable to busy commercial artists as an inexhaustible source of typographic ideas and a "swipe file" of words, phrases, and letters for use in graphic art projects.

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Download or read book Ovnis enl vements extraterrestres univers parall les written by Jean Casault and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si les ovnis et les enlèvements extraterrestres ne sont que fantasmes de l’esprit et mythes modernes, comment est-il possible, demande Jean Casault, que des dizaines de comités scientifiques se soient penchés sur cette question depuis 1947 ? Comment se fait-il que des chercheurs sérieux aient bien voulu être associés à ces phénomènes ? Chaque année aux États-Unis, on rapporte des milliers de cas d’observations d’ovnis. Dans le monde, ce compte pourrait atteindre quelques millions. Ce n’est pas rien, en particulier si on réalise que de 5 % à 28 % de ces observations restent inexpliquées à ce jour. C’est suffisant pour que cet ouvrage intéresse tant les sceptiques que les gens qui croient que d’autres formes de vies existent ailleurs. Après quarante ans d’études et d’enquêtes sur la question extraterrestre, Jean Casault, journaliste passionné, vous invite à découvrir le processus de réflexion des gens à l’égard des univers parallèles.
