Letterforms are like a strand of personal expression, intertwined with other strands of creative education. Old criteria of good form, beauty, taste, no longer apply. In the absence of basic standards, new teaching methods are called for. Mr. Crouwel has specific suggestions. Mrs. Gray notes the variety among people, everyday situations and moods, and feels that a wide range of letterforms is needed to best meet the communication needs of the wide range of messages and message situations and to contribute to a more lively environment. Here's how tools, technologies and materials have shaped letters, taking note of such varied influences as the broad quill pen, the pointed pen, the 48x48 grid of Louis XIV, the development of calendered paper, the Jacquard loom, and more right through today's CRTs and OCRs
A thoughtful look at such stresses and strains as those among new technologies and old design concepts, the emphasis on legibility in text typesetting and the treatment of display lettering as illustration, and the limits but expanding capabilities of reading machines.

The alphabet may be on its way out. The modular system of combining phonetic symbols to make visual sense is becoming too awkward, too slow, too limiting. Film has freed the written word to become as adaptable as speech. This is a challenge for tomorrow's designers.
There is a clash between the classical, calligraphic and historical approach to teaching letterforms and the impatience of today's students. Specific approaches and a contemporary curriculum are recommended. The need for public appreciation of letterforms is also discussed. Design is a rule-guided problemsolving activity. In designing alphabets, first state the objective, then analyze the situation, list requirements and criteria and then sequence the list for action. Rules help define problems, help solve them and make many solutions possible.

Editorial:
As easily surmised from the first issue, LT&lc is a vehicle for presenting ITC's newest typefaces "at work." Some ITC typefaces are introduced for the first time; others are repeated in different sizes and layouts. It is our hope that specifiers and users of typography will thus have an opportunity to see how these new designs look in a greater variety of formats than a type specimen booklet permits. I IC typefaces are becoming more and more popular throughout the world. Their popularity is due both to the artistry of the type-designers who created these faces and to their acceptance by the world typographic arts community. The typographic community, how.- ever, needs to be reminded of the continuing plight of the typeface designer, whose unprotected work is still copied and sold 7against his will and without hi; permission. The World Treaty on Intellectual Properties, held in JUI3,e 1973 in Vienna, has brought us one step closer to the end of this practice of unauthorized copying and its long overdue demise. But until the time when international copyright protection of typeface designs is enacted into law, organizations such as ITC together with the manufacturers on this page, who constitute ITC Subscribers, provide fair compensation to ITC designers for their creative efforts. ITC lists these manufacturers in order to state publicly that theyand only theyare licensed to manufacture and offer ITC typefaces for sale. The ITC license mark on their products is your guarantee that-the designer's work is honored and paid forand that your purchase of these "licensed" products is your assurance that the designer will receive his royalties. Check your supplier to see that he is purchasing ITC typefaces from one of these Subscribers. The Editors

The vigorous design of Korinna has brought this letter out of obscurity and tosses it directly into the typographic limelight. Rarely has a revival been so perfectly in tune with the contemporary scene. The original drawings for Korinna were executed at H. Berthold AG in 1904, as was the first cutting. ITC recognizes Berthold as the originator, and compensates the foundry for use of the name and general design. Enriching of the flavor and augmenting the letter into a useful series of four weights and an outline is the work of Ed Benguiat, Vic Caruso and the staff of Photo-Lettering, Inc. There is not the slightest doubt that Korinna's second debut will far outshine her first, for here is an enchanting lady who, at seventy, is younger than ever.

THANKS!
Gentlemen, Last week I glimpsed at an issue of "UGIc:' Bravo! Would it be possible to mail me a copy and to include my name on your mailing list for any future mailings that you plan? A publication of this sort has long been awaited in the art field and I'm sure it will prove invaluable to me in my duties as Art Director. Thank you for your consideration, Al Camasto Arizona State University Dear Mr. Lubalin: That's an enjoyable and even informative first issue you have produced, with a satisfactory helping of meat (such as Burns' pertinent comments on piracy) and some flavorful sauce (the graphics). Ernie Smith's humor slid off into cuteness once or twice, and an extra point of leading might have "uncrowded' a number of paragraphs, but that's the only area of quibbling I believe could be found with the project. You've started a "trade" journal that should be interestingand attractive to many folks outside the world'of typesetting. I'd like to see more of U&Ic. Would you let me know what subscription arrangements you're making? Thank you... and best wishes for the newborn publication! Sincerely, Robert A. Wilson, Jr. Audience Dear Mr. Lubalin: I've just had a chance to take a good look at the first issue of U&Ic, and I was very pleased by what I saw. The fact that you've all put a great deal of work into the publication is obvious, and I wish you all the success possible. Sincerely, Charlie Downs Art Director Public Relation/Advertising Kaiser Aetna Dear Aaron, Ed, Herb: Just a note to say what a wonderful job all you people did on the "U&Ic"! It is absolutely beautiful in content, thought, and design. I wish you and the publication every success. It fills a design and communication void long overdue in our field. Pleasekeep it up! Sincerely, Bob Greenwell NBC Dear International Typeface Corporation, The faculty members at New York City Community College were very impressed with the first publication of "UG-Ic:' We were glad to learn from a telephone conversation that it would be possible to receive several copies for the large typographical design classes at the college. There are close to twenty faculty members in our art and advertising design department and I am enclosing only those faculty members who teach typography and have expressed an interest in the paper. Thank you very much, "U&Ic" will reach hundreds of students. Tom Chibbaro Sid Sasson Bob Holden Bill Sealy Anne Namm Adjunct Lecturer New York City Community College

U&LC is a clean newspaper. I want to make it perfectly clear that, in spite of my"reputation"as a designer of erotic magazines, this article has no significance as a psycho-analytical exploration of the sexual implications of my involvement with the letter"0." It is meant to document how a designer can make something out of nothing. Zero. "0." I owe (no pun intended) my financial status and my reputation to the"O,"and other assorted characters. It all started 100 years ago when I was 20. (I've picked these good round numbers because they symbolize my preoccupation, not because they indicate my age, now conveniently concealed behind a grey beard.) I was a struggling senior at the Cooper Union, trying to find a graphic direction which would instantly establish me as the world's greatest designer and get me rich quick. A call for entries from the McCandlish outdoor advertising competition came to my attention. I entered the contest, hoping to win a prize along with the ensuing publicity a"winner" deserves. I won first prize in the student category with a poster for Hires Root Beer. The sparkling, persuasively original copy line was: "It's tops." The graphics displayed this headline in the sky with the Hires bottle top situated in the"O"of the word "tops." Get it? (ExhibitA). Evidently, the judges got it. And I got $25.00 plus the enthusiastic handclasp of my graphic design instructor. Spurred on , I decided to become the first designer to not only fill the` 0" with every conceivable round graphic symbol, but to exploit the characteristics of all the letters of the alphabet with the goal to replace them, whenever the occasion arose, with a symbol reflecting the nature of the character. Ultimately, I hoped to create a new graphic language, replacing the roman alphabet, which would eliminate all language barriers and, thus, enhance communications among all the peoples of the world and, thus, create everlasting peace and harmony. So be it. I bided my time waiting for the opportunity to exploit my theory. Nothing significant happened for

THE FAITH OF GRAFFITI DOCUMENTED BY MERVYN KURLANSKY AND JON NAAR WITH TEXT BY NORMAN MAILER
Anyone living in New York City has been bombarded the past few years with the youthcult-inspired phenomenon of graffitithat unique "art form" screaming through space on a unilinear subway line or adorning the sprayed walls of schools, warehouses, and low-income housing developments. To see beauty out of all this urban squalor is an unusual feat. And yet it has been superbly realized in this large new handsomelymounted work, revealing photographs that are in fact paintings in themselvesleffering so imaginative and colorful as to readily support the old adage, "one picture is worth a thousand words." Like all good art, these graffiti speak very much for themselves. That is, for everyone but Norman Mailer. Mailer, with his extraordinary gifts, identifies the letterings with a literary posture worthy of a Miro or Giotto. He takes Claes Oldenburg's classic remark: "You're standing in the station, everything is gray and gloomy and all of a sudden one of those graffiti trains slides in and brightens the place like a big bouquet from Latin America" and lays it at your feet. But there are two sides to this provocative coin. Although a minor media wonder of the decade, the graffiti are not smut but a litany of namesa craft outside the law, an adolescent rebellion that appals one side of the community and stultifies their lives. The other view sees the leffering as stunning calligraphy, a free new artform of the masses. Mailer places himself in the laffer group. With the renditions as scaffolding, he launches into his media e:,,,ay spectacularly. Assuming his familiar fightA stance, he flails about for lofty insights as he faces the question of Art with a very capital A. The graffiti-makers take him back to the first caveman drawings on the walls of Altamira and, as he puts it, "the hand pushes forward into the terror of future punishments from demons filled with fury at human audacity." He speaks with a whole semblage of the young letterers: Cay 161, Junior 161, Japan 1, L'il Flame, Hitler, and Super Kool. The numerals identify the street (Washington Heights and 161st Street), but the names are not their own. According to Mailer, "It is like a logo. Moxie or Sonoco; Tang, Whirlpool, Duz. The kids bear a definable relation to their product." It is not their name but the name. Mailer tries hard to get at the heart of the matter. "What is the meaning to you of the name?" he asks Cay 161. Cay answers forthrightly. 'The name,' says Cay, in a full voice, Delphic in its unexpected resonanceas if the idol of a temple has just chosen to break
into sound'The name,' says Cay, 'is faith of graffiti.'" There jyou have it. Mailer has done homework well. He talks with everyone can collar: Sly, Stay High, Phase 2, Bc Snake, Stitch, and Star Ill. He gives then the benefit of any doubt. And he fairly press conflicting views. He quotes Dr. Frede Wertham: "It is part of the widespread dalism, the mood to destroy, the brutal that is everywhere." And Richard Golds from New York Magazine: "The graffiti m ment is a lot like rock 'n roll in its pre-enl ened phase. To me it announces the genuine teenage street culture since fifties." You pays your nickel and you takes choice. Art or junk? Perhaps it's somethin each. Some of the lettering is surely nott more than a naive and random straw But, as these photographs reveal, a sur ing amount of the work fills the space st latingly and proportionatelymuch alonc lines of a creative art directorits provocc styling fairly screaming to be heard out of depths of the New York jungle: "Hey, loo me, everybody! I'm here!" In point of fact, many of the "drawir would make for eye-catching packaginc some hip enterprising company or ad age eager to draw instant consumer response in all, a remarkable new world of typogr ics, where the writer's vision and exceptic abilities present a case that expands youthful graffiti-makers' efforts, giving tt a far broader canvas than they ever ei aged. In her review in The New York Tin Corinne Robins reports that "The final tograph in the book is of a band of he dozen leather-jacketed boys on the sub. steps, several of them holding up little pie of paper with their signature trademarks them. The children are beautiful. Here they not being caught out, beaten up, or at reprimanded, but rather acknowledged celebrated by the photographer for de originally done for each other's benefit have suddenly, illogically received a approval. It's a sweet photograph an sweet moment of glory." Or, as Norman Mailer would have it: ' haps it is the unheard echo of graffiti, vibration of that profound discomfort it ar es, as if the unheard music of its procic tion and/or its mess, the rapt intent seen of its foliage, is the herald of some oncon apocalypse less and less far away. Gr lingers on our subway door as a moment what may well have been our first ar karma, as if indeed all the lives ever lived sounding now like the bugles of gathe armies across the unseen ridge." Faith!

Hundreds of years ago English was written phonetically, until the early printers muddled it up, the kings okayed the muddle, the writers accepted it, and the rest of us have struggled along knowing that something was wrong with our spelling, but not knowing how to straighten it out. Soundspel may remind you of your childhood spelling, but don't be fooled it's no "kid-scribbling". On the contrary, it brings together the best ideas that generations of scholars have had for the simplification of our writing. Soundspel is for children, for adults, for foreigners learning English, for everybody. It has a few simple rules, but even without them you can read it pretty well at first sight. No twisted spellings, no unused silent letters. Soundspel is, above all, honest: each word is pronounced exactly as it's written. Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Hungarian, Finnish, Russian and most other western languages match letters to spoken sounds. We can do it in English too:

all TV commercials, the magazines delivered to your door, and most of your third class mail are in soundspel too. Billboards and road signs, when replaced, will be in soundspel; also labels, directions, and other public reading matter. Suppose this began tomorrow. It would be a jolt. But how big a jolt would it really be? In the soundspel paragraphs here you may have encountered a dozen words that stumped you briefly. Next time you meet them they'll be as easy as the other 500 words you read without difficulty. Your personal and business letters, memos and reports will not be affected. You'll keep on writing them in oldspell as usual. You might compare a switch to soundspel with the jolt you'd have tomorrow if many of your friends began talking with a strong British accent. It would, by jove, be jolly annoying and a bit sticky at first, but you'd catch on in a jiffy. A quick switch to soundspel would slow down your speed-reading for a while, but you'd know that those few weeks of inconvenience were laying the foundation for a more literate and, hopefully, a more trouble-free Americaand certainly a more communicative world. English is the world's best hope for an international language. Except for China, 30% of the world's literate population already has a working knowledge of English. And we're told that English has replaced Russian as the second language in Chinese schools. Its major international drawback is the way we spell it. By haphazardlyrather than systematicallymaking our 26 letters represent the 42 sounds of English, we have created a Frankenstein of 600 exceptions to the rule of "one letter for one sound' Spelling failure is high on the drop-out list. Our children use more than a year of their early education trying to memorize these 600 exceptionsexceptions that give an unnatural spelling to almost two-thirds of our words! By contrast, children in Italy and Spain learn to write their language without even the aid of a spelling book. Ten years ago the dream of simplification defied fulfillment. But not today. Ten years ago we would have faced the impossible task of changing the writing habits of
every author, journalist, copywriter and typesetter. No longer. Today we can place a transliterating computer between the typesetter's keyboard and the photo printout unit. At the turn of a switch the oldspell input comes out as soundspel typesetting. And the saving in printing bulk will pay for the computers again and again.
We have, at last, the technology.

The complete Soundspel alphabet system is shown here. Children, adults, and foreign students who master this relatively simple system will then be able to write, in Soundspel, anything they can say in English. The Soundspel concept is not novel: it is an adaptation for Englishof the phonetic spelling used daily by millions who write in Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Turkish and most other western languages. Some day a system like this may free us from the ordeal of memorizing the spelling irregularities that are found in more than 100,000 English words.

The vowel-sound in 'good, should' etc. is written 'uu'guud, shuud. (No change in `00' for the sound in 'moon, food, boot, loom, groom,' etc.) The rest of Soundspel is close enough to our present-day English so you're not likely to misread it. u'r not liekly to misreed it. * The Short Vowels (a e i o) in unstressed syllables are often pronounced almost like a short u. (Linguists call this diluted pronunciation `schwa'.) "" To keep certain words looking more familiar, medial and final au and ou may be replaced by aw and ow (as in law, tower' ). 1. To keep words looking more familiar, the finale may be dropped from words ending in ee (we0, he0), ie (alibi 0), oe (go0, noe).
4. th and x have two pronunciations unvoiced th (thin), and voiced th (this); unvoiced x (ax,6), and voiced x (exam,g-:). 5. y is used not only as a consonant (yet), but
also as a vowel (holy) often replacing unstressed ee or i. Five self-evident abbreviations are used u (you); i (1); th (the); to (to); do (do).
In general it has been possible to make soundspel comfortable for most readers by selecting the digraph or trigraph that is already firmly associated with a particular sound in the reader's mind, eye and ear. There is, however, one selection that is not easily made. It concerns the digraph chosen to represent these two different `oo' sounds: loop...look tool...took food...foot mood...good loom...wood soon... book moon...cook could would should Dr. Godfrey Dewey's thoro research indicates that the 'oo'-sound in 'moon' occurs more frequently than the bo'-sound in 'wood' or 'would'. So soundspel picks the digraph 'oo' for the vowel-sound in `moon' and uses a new digraph curl' for the 'wood-would' sound. At first the combination 'Liu' may seem a bit awkward to English readers because today it is found only in the word 'vacuum'. Fortunately it will occur but once in every 1.35 words only two or three times on an average page. The other soundspel digraphs and trigraphs fall naturally into place and their pronunciation is largely self-evident. That's why anyone who can read English will soon see that he can read soundspel too. That's whi enywun hoo can reed Ingglish wil soon see that he can reed soundspel too.
Spelling Simplification and Phototypesetting...the new road to a quick changeover.
graphically unacceptable unacceptable to the eye. So, to smooth the path of change, we regard wh as a digraph (representing h + w) and make it part of written soundspel. Another good example is `or'. The sound of 'or' could be phonetically written 'aur', but to use such spellings as 'maul', 'aur', `baurn', etc. for words like more, or, born, for, store, sport, resort, implore, etc. would look very awkward. So soundspel accepts 'or' as a digraph and makes it part of the written language. Other concessions to visual familiarity are shown in the panel above. These concessions, of course, put a slight extra burden on students learning to write English particularly on the foreign student. But it's easier for him to master what he'll regard as eleven consistent inconsistencies than to memorize hundreds of irregular irregularities. And the same may be said for our own first graders. It's not unreasonable to require them to yield something for the benefit of adult readers who ate in the driver's seat and can say NO to the whole idea of simplification.
The 400-year history of simplification makes it clear that writers and typesetters not readershave consistently scuttled all serious attempts at spelling reform. The public has never seen more than token samples of simplificationnever enough for readers to pass judgment on it. Some time around 1910 twenty important newspapers agreed to try simplification on a piecemeal basis: 12 words this year, 30 next, 300 the year after, and 1500 or more eventually. It may have been a great idea but it was bad psychology. Nobody wants to change his writing habitsleast of all journalists and typesetters frantically trying to meet deadlines. As for readers, we can't say how much resistance they'd generate because we do not know. If the simplified spelling were comfortable enough so that almost anybody could quickly "catch on", the resistance might fade away rapidly (as it has in England with the recent change to decimal
14
ova
coinage). We'll never know how much resistance we'll get from readers until we try simplification on a large scale, and up to now we've had no good way to try it. If, at the outset, we limit our use of simplification to newly printed material and new public signs, we can completely eliminate the writers' and typesetters' resistance. They need make no change. Why not? Because we can program computers to convert their typewritten oldspell into typeset soundspelat fantastic speeds! Take a look at what is happening today in the phototypesetting revolution. More and more type is being set this way: 1. The author typewrites his manuscript as usual. 2. The typesetter keyboards the manuscript onto punched or magnetic tape. (The holes in the paper tape simply represent letters that have been keyed.) 3. The tape is then converted back into visible letters and projected, a paragraph or two at a time, onto a proofreading screen resembling a TV screen with a typewriter keyboard attached to it. 4. The proofreader reads the copy on the screen. He can type in corrections, additions, etc. As he types, the errors magically vanish from the screen and the corrections take their place. 5. When the proofreader is satisfied the paragraph is correct he presses a button and the letters on the screen are converted into new perforations on a new tape. 6. The new tape is fed into a computerized print-out unit which photocomposes words at the rate of 10 to 10,000 letters per second! 7. Out comes a film positive or paper print that may be developed conventionally and used in offset, gravure or letterpress printing. This is no longer a dream. It is in daily successful operation. It takes very little contemporary imagination to see that the computer behind the typesetter's keyboard could be programmed to read words rather than letters, and that it could transliterate oldspell input into soundspel on the tape. Thus authors and journalists could continue to write in oldspell, but when their words appeared in print they would be in soundspel. And the author could write either "through" or "thru" both would go onto the tape as "throo". The same applies to homophones. Homographs and author's typing errors become a little more difficult. These would show up on the screen IN CAPS in their oldspell form and the proofreader could then type in the correct soundspelling. And all this will be practical long before simplification is accepted. The important thing to remember is that the resistance shown to previous attempts at reform has been writer-resistancenot reader-resistance. We can now detour around the writerresistancethanks to phototypesetting and its energetic computers.

Spelling simplification may be the very best way to attack four problems baffling American society today: juvenile delinquency, crime-in-the-streets, hard core unemployment, and expanding relief rolls. Lurking behind these evils is the failure of many to master our illogical, incongruous spelling. It is the chief cause of student drop-out. Drop-outs, in turn, are the major source of our delinquents, criminals, unemployables and paupers. 10,000,000 students are falling hopelessly behind in their effort to memorize the hundreds of different ways we write our 42 basic sounds. 16,000,000 Americans cannot read a newspaper, and 19,000,000 cannot fill out a job application form. Seriously disabled readers in our prisons outnumber the national average almost 4 to 1. We must stop this need-
less waste of human resource. We must end its astronomical cost in well-being and in money. Spelling reform offers us social benefits equal to the metric system's economic benefits. Many schools are already teaching phonetic systems of writing and reading to first graders before subjecting them to the disharmony of traditional spelling. This is a good foundation for the coming of simplification. The educators now need strong support from the adult population support for a simplified system that adults can accept and use. In this presentation we have tried to sho that simplified speling iz practical now; that adults can reed it without further traening; that thae need lurn no nue rieting habits; that thair persunal rietingindeed aul thair rietingcan continue without chaenj, and that compueterz wil translaet riten oldspell into printed soundspel.

In 1962, Herb Lubalin was asked to redesign The Saturday Evening Post. He said,"What for?"They said, "To restore the interest of the ad agencies and the youth market."

Instead of maintaining the magazine's, own standards of excellence, Post editors rushed to compete with these pictorial upstarts and made the inexpedient change from illustrated fiction and non-fiction to what amounted to little more than a poor man's photographic, public affairs publication. Ostrich-like, they tried to vie with information that was more immediate and visually more stimulating on the television screenresulting in a readership that dwindled down to a sort of "Middle America Geriatric" with little or no appeal to youth. That's when the unhappy editors turned to Herb Lubalinand promptly turned down his suggestion to redesign the magazine back to its original form. They said, "You're out of your mind! This is the 20th Century!" So Herb resignedly redesigned what turned out to be a big 20th Century compromise and an even bigger 20th Century total failure. But people learn by experience. Right? Wrong. In 1968 after a six-year downhill struggle a new management once again (you guessed it) asked Herb Lubalin to redesign The Saturday Evening Post. Herb said, "You're out of your minds. I almost put you out of business in '62. Now you're coming back for a second chance? You'll be defunct in 8 months" Management decided to risk it and were out of business in 8 months. A continuing debate has since raged on who it was exactly who put The Saturday Evening Post out of business. Ad people claimed it had no place in our present society and appealed to the wrong audience. The Post people claimed that the Ad people were responsible because they failed to understand the value and appeal of the magazine's editorial policy. Herb Lubalin said, "Don't fight! It's all my fault because you wouldn't listen to my advice and I stupidly went along with you. It's all my fault. I did it!" Whoever's fault it was, it's nonetheless apparent that you can't keep a bad magazine down. You may not have noticed, but The Saturday Evening Post is out on the newsstands once againstill trying to play all ends against the middle in a last-ditch stand to attract a national readership. But it's still not the same old Post. Only one element remains the marvelous "Alexander Botts"stories by William Hazlett Upson, the latest issue offering the 106th story in a series that began in 1927 Additionally, the movies have stolen a page from the magazine or at least from its titles. In the new Academy Award-winning film, "The Sting," all the varied titles throughout the picture simulate the Post's unique graphic lettering, enhancing the overall quality of the film "more than somewhat" to quote Damon Runyon. yet another legendary contributor to the ,Post. But the rest is more or less a mlange of everything but the kitchen sinka kaleidoscope of overabundance without direction. And you can blame it all on Herb Lubalin. He still thinks the magazine should be redesigned back to the way it looked on July 6, 1901. He still thinks they should put out a magazine that looks like what you see on these pages. He still thinks they should put out a magazine that looks exactly like the good old Saturday Evening Post. What do you think? U&Ic will welcome your opinions.

For all kinds of purposes, the English language has been growing so quickly that MerriamWebster must scurry to keep up with mutants in fields such as sports, computer science, the drug subculture, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, neurosciences, and ecology. Some words, such as"sputnik,' are important as soon as they come into being. The importance of other words doesn't become evident until long after their first use. The first citation for"atomic bomb" we have is 1917, but it wasn't put in a dictionary until 1947.

Candidates for the next dictionary are being scrutinized by the expertsneologisms such as "logophag" (one who eats one's wordsStewart Alsop's term for Senator George McGovern), "tenuree" (one who is tenured), and "kissee" (one who is kissed) among others. But the game works both ways. Philologian Emmett Murphy's heart leaped up whenpreparing the editionhe beheld the word "introgenous" three times inThomas Huxley's "On the Origin of Species, as when Dr. Huxley traced the horse back to "a minute particle of introgenous matter It was, alas, a typographical error for"nitrogenous:'
"CHAUVINISM"
Everybody knows the phrase "male chauvinist pig:' But there are few who know the derivation. Nicolas Chauvin was a gallant soldier of Napoleon I, wounded in battle and everlastingly devoted to his peerless leader. By his own standards, he was one of the few true patriots remaining in France after his hero's exile, and he was not shy about express ing his continuing high regard for Napoleon. It is ironic that his excessive zeal in behalf of a cause most of his countrymen thought well lost resulted in his becoming an object of ridicule. Perhaps, though, Nicolas Chauvin has the last laugh for, though all those who mocked him are long-forgotten, his name remains in the language of us all the word chauvinism being coined to describe his fanaticism. And it remains ever popular today as the one best word to indicate militant, boastful, and wholly unreasoning devotion to one's country, one's race, or one's gender.

THE END
A literal translation of the French words making up avant-garde would be "before the guard" The English modification of it is vanguard, meaning a group in the leading position in any field. Tbday, the original French phrase is used to designate leaders in political and intellectual fields. In this use it also usually connotes a deviation from the normal pattern, as in the case of avant-garde poetry, avant-garde art, and so on. Itis alsothe name of a popular current typeface, designed by Herb Lubalin.

I met Roger Excoffon, one of France's leading graphic designers, in London a few months ago. He told me that his design for the French Internal Revenue Service tax form had been selected over many others submitted to the IRS. The reason? Souvenir Light! The French IRS asked him specifically to get in touch with the designer of this face and congratulate him for his contribution to the advancement of communications because of Souvenir's extreme legibility We want to thank the French IRS for their perceptiveness, and the original designer, Morris Fuller Benton and the re-designer, Ed Benguiat for making us (ITC) look so good.

The first recorded appearance in print of the term hot dog was in 1903. The late Henry Mencken as would be expected by anyone familiar with his massive and enormously entertaining tome,"The American Language did some very thorough research on the origins of hot dog. His findings: Although sausages in rolls have been sold in this country for many years, the very first person to heat the roll and add mustard and relish was the famous Harry Stevens, concessionaire at the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium. And the coiner of the name hot dog? None other than the late T. A. Dorgan who, signing his work "Tad',' was without doubt the best-known sports cartoonist of the era.

This is a favorite of mine typographically as well as conceptually. The typography is hardly flamboyant or inventive and certainly not meant to be. It's meant to be intelligent, logical and clear in a most complex situation; trying to capture in book form 46 hours of continuous CBS News television coverage of the first landing on the moon. Typography attempts to distinguish and separate CBS News 'voices' from astronauts, Houston Center voices' and editorial transitions, etc. It breaks down as follows: In all six typefaces were used throughout this book.
(1) Kobel for displayNote title and cover and frontispiecethe only 'designed' typography. Also used for dayto-day section dividers and storyboard heads. (2) Century ExpandedAppears for editorial transitionsbetween voices or to establish time and locations intelligence. (3) Century Expanded ItalicThese are verbatim CBS News reports as they appeared on the air. So Century Expanded Italic represents CBS News. (4) Century BoldIdentifies CBS News people who are being quoted (in Century Expanded Italic). Also Century Bold used for verbatim 'voices' of the astronauts and the Houston Space Center people or everyone but CBS News. (5) Century Bold ItalicIdentifies all other voices' other than CBS News. (6) Spartan MediumIn 4 pt. typeface captions for the off-the-screen photos of the entire event (treated as a storyboard).

The first critical moment of the day in space was coming up. Collins was alone in the Command Module; and Armstrong and Aldrin were in the Lunar Module preparing for the undocking, the next step toward the moon landing. The separation would take place seconds after the spacecraft came around the near side of the moon. Collins would fire the service propulsion system engine to pull away from the Lunar Module, and Armstrong and Aldrin would be on their own.
Eagle: Roger. Eagle. Stand by. Caprom: Roger. Eagle. How does it look?
Armstrong's happy voice cut through the 242,000 miles of space to earth: "The Eagle has wings." And Eagle indeed did have wings, as Armstrong pulled the LM away from Mike Collins in the Command Module. Then Collins prepared to ignite Columbia's engine for the final separation maneuver.
Columbia: I think you've got a fine looking fly ing machine there,
Eagle, despite the fart you're upside down.
Eagle: Somebody's upside down. m Columbia: Okay Eagle, one minute to T. You guys take rare.
Dear Friend Burns, At first, it did not seem difficult for me to comply with your wishto select one of my works which I like and to explain why I like it. As Nicholas Jensen prognosticated by his perfect typesetting, in the 15th Century, the modern, photomechanical handling of letters is not limited in respect to space by the traditional laws of handsetting. The monumental typography which had such success in recent years is already being discredited by the fantastic speed of passing time. We are now witnessing the tension between a dynamic scientific technology and the present fashionable line. At this point, we need to come back to the original, sound principles in the use of type. The second wave of Secession is already receding. Back to Bodoni, therefore? Not necessarily. Perhaps I only like it again after all these years. Or perhaps because I have not always been successful with editors in previous years. The task you set me has been a difficult one, my friend. It would have been much easier to simply select ten of my works. OLDRICH HLAVSA, CZECHOSLOVAKIA

New rules for new methods...
".. . We have to create rules for a new design method; to work in accordance with these rules will lead to results which will fit into a new invisible system, this will not force us into uniformity but will allow the greatest degree of freedom and flexibility. . " "... At the same time letterforms will evolve away from their existing forms, and it will almost cease to be possible to make faithful copies of historical typefaces. (See for example what the Digiset, the Linotron, or any other CRT-machine, which works along the lines of regular patterns, is making of historical types. Take a close look through a magnifying-glass; because the pattern is so small as to be almost invisible to the naked eye, we accept these ill-shaped results!). .." "... So we no longer have to teach finished lettirforms, but instead we have to teach the rules of regular patterns; and we have to open up the fantastic world of pattern systems. .This is the grammar to serve a Ian guage of new forms and shapes . . ." "... almost every teaching method for handwriting starts with a determined pattern, and from the strict limitations of this basis, one has later to develop a personal style ... we have to invert this system. We have first to find the basic pattern which is strictly personal for each individual, so as to explore the existing creativity of the child; personality in handwriting style can then start much earlier and will develop far more harmoniously..." "... Different teaching systems exist today. Systems that use single, double, triple, or more lines along which to write; systems that start off beginners with a flexible pen, a flat pen or a pencil; systems that use preprinted examples, which start with the single letter, or which start with certain lettercombinations; or the most advanced system, which starts with the drawing. But all these systems have one thing in common: the result is to be more or less the same script so as to provide a communication tool. This utility purpose is primary; selfexpression is always secondary. . ." Self-expression is co-primary... "... In my opinion both purposes are equally important; neither should be given preference. Certainly not in this era of typewriters, dictaphones and other tools, which serve the same purposes of communication just as well or even better. . ." Instead of trying to teach every individual child to write in the same style, with the underlying belief that this will later change automatically into a more personal style, we should help the child by the rules of the game and by the natural feeling for the basic patterns. For this we have to discover basic patterns from a study of the child's uncontrolled scribbling in its pre-writing period, and these will provide basic directions towards its natural feeling for rhythm.

im Crouwel sees letterforms as a means to personal expression. Excerpts from his observations follow... ... When talking about 'education in letter)rms,' we cannot separate this activity -om other activities in the field of creative ducation. In my view, education in letterirms means helping a human being to find personal form of expression through letn-forms. It dOenot mean learning how to opy existing types... we have discovered ow nonsensical it is to follow any of the umerous 'how-to-do-it' systems." .. the same critical point has been reached most other fields of education. It is no mger possible to talk about 'beauty' or igliness,' or about 'good taste' or 'bad taste' 1 absolute terms. 'Aesthetic' has become a :rm which can be interpreted in many dif'sent ways. Any shape for a utility-object is 3 good as any other shape, as long as it ,rues a certain purpose; as long as it is ecoomically satisfactory in handling So any :tterform is as good as any other letterform iday, provided it serves a certain aim . . ."
.
.. The result is that there is no longer any standard to which we can refer, either )r shape in general, or more specifically for tterforms. Today we are still willing to :cept that certain historic typefaces are .,:rfect examples, mainly because these pes were in accord with the time of their eation, and perfectly expressed that time. ut what typeface today expresses our me?

designed with this in mind. All this public lettering is thus a factor in social life in quite a different sense from ordinary reading and writing and it is a new factor. It has become part of the environment and its problems. It is lettering for these new and various uses, as opposed to the design of text typefaces for books and newspapers upon which I propose to concentrate here...The characters which we write or which we read in "... The complete regular pattern can be used right away without the fear of disturb- books are normally small black marks on white paper. Those which we see dising the natural free movement because this played in advertisements, in shops, on the pattern is itself a record of free muscle streets, on the screen are made up of all reflexes. For these earliest writing exercises, we should not teach basic symbols of sorts of sizes, mostly large, or very large; in the alphabet in a specific traditional form, all sorts of materials, plastic, metal, ceramic, fibreglass, etc., as well as paper; but only basic form-characteristics. These produced by many different sorts of probasic form-characteristics should be shown cesses; and in many cases, with the added in such a way that the child can interpret dimensions of color, artificial illumination them in its own way.

We need to show them what good lettering is like, and the ways in which it can enrich instead of defacing our surroundings." How do you think about letters?... Lettering and Society "...We have all been shown what good lettering is like. We have only to look at the By Nicolete Gray best Roman inscriptions to see the most beautiful possible letterforms.... Everything depends on how you think about letters. If you think of them conceptually, as signs which are individualisations of an idea in the mind, which are beautiful in so far as this idea is clear and correct, and its realisation is skilled, then perhaps we need only to maintain this revival. This is a classical way of thinking, and it undoubtedly produced very beautiful and sensitive classical lettering on classical buildings. But we ettering no longer build in the classical style, and can and should be infinitely diverse one has only to look at the Roman letters This was the theme of Nicolete Gray's pre- produced in the forms of perspex boxes now to be seen in many streets, to realise sentation.

ty? If we expect invention and originality, how can such talent be trained and fostered? Current practice seems to consist in reviving designs from trendy decades of the recent past, which thought it had reintroduced a few good designs, seems a barren and defeatist method." "There are two methods of approach by which the designer can expand his formal lettering vocabulary and find a training which will discipline and enlarge his native invention. One is the application of geometrical principles, the other is the study of the past." "...I am not a revivalist; I do not believe that you should use Roman rustics today, any more than that we should build classical or Gothic buildings. I do however, think that no letter is obsolete which is legible, and that all forms are usable, provided that there is a good reason for their use. As I see the history of lettering, its pattern consists in a series of classical revivals, followed by periods of experiment and invention." Even the great tangled Baroque letters, Pre-Carolingians, art nouveau forms, compressed sansserifs, eighth century Irish capitals or brick and tile Kufic lettering still has its place when appropriately fitted to the design problem involved. ..Or again suppose the problem is linear, a neon sign or a line which grows on the TV Screen; the handwriting of the contemporary student does not easily work up into lively movement, but he can find delightful convolutions in late Roman cursive script and in the books of the early French writing masters. The lettering work of the past is like a great store where the designer can search for forms of letters, ideas, and inspiration--according to his problems and his taste."
1. "Gutenberg brought us lettercasting, page make-up, and left and right justification" 2. "In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the diagonal stress of the broad quill pen determined the shape of both gothic and roman types, especially in the lowercase" as the end of the seventeenth century and particularly in the eighteenth century, punchcutters began to veer away from existing forms at much the same speed as calligraphers made increasing use of pointed pens, and made sharpness and fine lines into their ideal!'

4. "An important influence towards a departure from Renaissance typefaces was exerted by Louis XIV... outlines of the letters for the new typeface were laid down on a grid of forty-eight by forty-eight squares. However these carefully built-up outline drawings had to be transferred to copperplates as engravings, and then cut by hand upon punches by Grandjean ... in so doing he departed to some extent from the originals... it, nevertheless, set the general pattern for typecasters of that time, and the principle of a stronger vertical stress"
5. "The development of calendered paper by Baskerville and Bodoni, and the invention of papier velin in France, made it possible to cut punches with still finer lines and to increase the contrast with vertical strokes. Rounded serifs were gradually abandoned and were replaced by fine horizontal terminals!' 6. "Between 1800 and 1850 punchcutters excelled in virtuosity, competing against the onset of lithographic alphabets some of them highly ornate. These new designs were admirable more for their technical brilliance than for their aesthetic excellence...Following the delicate classic forms of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, attempts were made to alter the thickness and forms of main stems as well as serifs. This led to light and bold, narrow and wide, and partly decorated display faces of the early industrial age: Egyptian, Bold Roman, Clarendon and ultimately to every kind of sanserif Grotesque!'

"...The strength with which memories ai retained depends upon the strength of of feelings when they were formed, or upon tt number of times they are repeated. The lette of our alphabet are part of the 'images' whic are most deeply rooted within us ...the: images of sign form the fundamental e ments of reading and writing..." Who 'makes' typography today... "...A very clear distinction is made took between two kinds of printed communicatic The first consists of texts composed in small ( medium sizes of type, produced by fast col posing machines, in order to transmit kno\ edge, ideas and information. The types use are increasingly subject to strict rules, whic result in widespread comprehension of ti types.

"...About ten years ago the first so-called elE tronic letters appeared. Readers were at fir shocked by their deformed appearance, 1 their illogical and discordant excrescence Nevertheless their use served to accompliE an act of liberation so far as traditional forrr were concerned.

He continues this historical review noting the influence of filmsetting systems, OCRs, digitally produced alphabets and the requirement of reading machines. He concludes: "...Radical alterations to the traditional, basic forms of our alphabet are neither desirable nor possible. Newly invented letters, however ingenious, are not likely to become widely accepted. Let us remember what Stanley Morison wrote in his First Principles, 'A type which is to have anything like a present, let alone a future, will be neither very"different" nor very"jolly."The demand that we make of a typeface is not simplicity but legibility This legibility along with familiar letterforms, must be preserved in the future, despite technical developments that may still arise.'" "The automation of manufacture for highspeed setting is a task for the future; the creation of legible and aesthetically satisfying typefaces is the task of the type designer"
he interdependence of technique and typography is traced by Max Caflisch from the medieval scribes through today's reading machines. In sum, he notes:

integrate them. The alphabet has become eager to co-operate, and is fully capable of assuming new co-ordinating roles. The media are beginning to overlap and combine and even to swallow each other up, so as to arise anew. "The coming generation of designers will have to take on the task of constructing openended, superior communication systems in which type may have its part to play, but which will be quite unlike anything we know today." Armin Hofmann is head of Graphic Design Department of the School of Design, Basel.
Knowledge and awareness of type and letterforms for other professional groups... ...If we wish to emphasize the importance of letterforms as our most significant means of communication... then other professional groups must be made acquainted with the many styles and varieties of letterforms already in existence... such as architects, industrial designers, communication experts, journalists, television technicians, specialists in the role of newspapers, publishers, booksellers, and librarians "Letterforms must also be presented to the public in more attractive guise if they are to arouse greater interest..." "The aim is to popularise letterforms amongst all age groups and social strata. To gain support for this view, it would be advisable to include a study of letterforms in the curricula of all introductory courses offered by schools whose main concerns are form and color." Here Dr. Lange referred to the influence of Johannes Itten and noted that... "The success of his educational theories was in no small measure due to the fact that he was prepared to adapt his theories in the light of practical experience." Noting the shrinking job market for type designers Dr. Lange sees... "The main task of all these groups is at present the creation of subtle adaptations of existing types, in conformity with the requirements of particular composition techniques, mechanical systems, or raw materials. This is not a creative task..." "Despite these limitations there are other possibilities. Anyone possessing a good grounding in the theory and practice of type design, coupled with skills in typography, photography or design will not lack employment. Hence the basic idea behind such a revised educational program should be to provide students with a creative model within the general framework of type design. Its aim would be to cultivate a sense of form, color and proportion in the individual student, which would bring about a general raising of standard of formal perception." He suggests a basic course with the following subjects required... "Precision drawing, study of contrasts, optical illusions, theory of colors, studies of materials and textures, introduction to manual graphic techniques, and principles of photography." For courses in type design he would include... "Practice in writing and drawing typefaces, bookhand typefaces, sanserifs, Modern serifs, Egyptian serifs, English copperplate writing styles, study of the form of earlier romans and italics, type widthspast and present, legibility, hand-cut types, phonetic typefaces, semantic characters, electronic reproduction and recording of type, modification of letterforms arising from reproeducational techniques, letterforms for headlines, non-representational uses of letterforms, letterforrns in mobile advertising, letterforms in architecture and space, letterforms as educational aids, and significance of letterforms in the context of total design." "These headings are merely intended as keywords and can be developed. They contain the basis of a training course for specialists in the field of type design. Investigations into legibility and psychological effects of letterforms should complement these courses. For the writing down of letterforms only serves to elucidate

fter appropriate bows to the crucial role played by moveable type in the development of our culture, Armin Hofmann suggests that the alphabetical system may have outgrown its usefulness. He compares writing to speech. In writing one must learn to string together fragments to make words, phrases, ideas. This is becoming too awkward, too slow, too limiting... "A brief comparison between the written word and our other traditional means of communication, namely speech, clearly establishes that the latter is in a better position to cope with the deterioration of meaning, form and practice. Due to its more flexible structure, it can adapt more speedily and is in general able to react more decisively to the challenges of our time. Speech is less formal, less determinate, less definite, less tied to technology than writing; it is not so firmly fixed in time and is a more highly articulated, efficient means of expression; it is more discriminating and controllable, it is more easily corrected than the written word... "Naturally it is not a question of spoken language serving as a pattern for written language, nor vice versa of written language serving as a pattern for speech. But if we compare both communication systems, we come across some interesting factors relating to quality, speed and differences in perceptual processes; and we pick up hints about the direction which future methods of communication might possibly take. "Moveable letters secured a new freedom of movement from the time their material forms ceased to be restricted to wood, metal or synthetics. Far too little importance has been given to this fact, for otherwise we would have realised immediately that filmsetting dispenses with those functions which were the backbone of the original invention: individual parts are no longer interchanged, nor do they run only in one direction; they are no longer restricted to the previous limited range of sizes, no longer chained to type-carriers, no longer limited to specific dimensions... "The written word has moved closer to spoken language, to gesture and can now be compared more readily with representational images. Technical developments point to the possibility of disseminating messages that are more precise and more colorful. "The alphabet is now less dependent upon any one system. It has reached a stage where it can be used in conjunction with other communication methods and systems. It can be used to assist in getting across complicated subject matter, it can assimilate complementary elements from systems alien to itself and

ypographic educationfor whom?... "... Professional groups concerned with education in letterforms as part of vocational training schemes are: poster designers, manufacturers of signboards, graphic designers, advertising agents, typographers, book designers, engravers, stonemasons, teachers in the fields of type design, composition,and printing." "These groups usually develop an interest in fundamental problems of letterforms while studying calligraphy and drawing. At present the emphasis is on classical inscriptions, calligraphy and historical examples of letterforms." "Instruction in the field of type design is bound to have a subjective bias, since it is dependent on the teacher's personality. He chooses the examples which will provide his students with their standards of workmanship. Tuition is backward looking, at best conservative in content, and buoyed up by exercises in calligraphy and expressive writing. Occasional practice in alphabet design allows the students to study the difference between static and dynamic concepts of letterforms "Today's students do not possess the patience required to work on page after page of calligraphic exercises. They totally reject the concept of lessons in writing as a form of disciplinary exercise.. ," "...By now it should have become quite clear that education in letterforms is in need of radical reform. We must begin our inquiries into this subject with the question: How, and for what purpose? ... The narrow view of education in letterforms as a question simply of calligraphic exercise must be abandoned...writing is not only the preserve of experts." "...To ensure that knowledge imparted to students is up to date, a short compendium of the principal works of international importance in our field would be of value. A committee, responsible for compiling such a study should be set up under the auspices of A.TYP.I."

The young boy who did this unconscionable thing is a miserable product of our times. He wielded the weapon, but the climate in which we live set the stage for the attack. So the kid has his bicycle and Roger Hane is dead. Roger was quiet, thoughtful, unassuming.

of tomorrow, today!
One of our most recent efforts with tomorrow's "creative types" involved students from the Washington University School of Fine Arts. We asked them to redesign the alphabet ... and wow! Their designs were so creative and so innovative that they won a gold medal for design excellence. And we were proud to play a part in producing the "new alphabet" packet.
That's what it's all about at Nationalcreative typesetting and attention to detail give art directors and designers extra freedom and capability in creative communications. We have innovative types for "creative types." If you'd like to have a copy of the award winning "new alphabet," drop a line to Victor Clavenna and he'll speed one your way.
Take, for instance, the comma, hal sister to the period. Or again, thei cousins, the colon and semi-colon How shall we dispose of the hyphen the quotation mark or apostrophe . "Give them their very own place in the sun. Nourish their hungry egos plead those of more gentle persuasion. "Hang them, hang them all, demand the hard liners. Here, a Baumwell, we daily (and most e pertly) reconcile the warring point of view. Fearlessly and without favo be it with Korinna, Souvenir, Seri Gothic, Friz Quadrata, Avant Gard Olivette, or any of the faces you se in U&lc (along with many more) we staunchly, albeit carefully, march down both sides of the road, arm-i arm with a host of ha GRIM py designers.

CRAZY GINZBILI
Ralph Ginzburg, that brandied fruitcake of a publisher, is at it again. First he devilishly exposed the intimate parts of Fanny Hill and Lady Chatterley to a blushing America while those erotic classics were still banned. Then he bought himself a $2-million lawsuit by daring to question Barry Goldwater's psychological fitness to finger the nuclear trigger when Goldwater was running for President in 1964. Next, with his muckraking magazine Fact, he risked the wrath of the mighty by attacking Detroit (for building cars that were uncrashworthy; this was before Ralph Nader), drug manufacturers (for selling cyclamates which had been proven to cause chromosome damage), and the tobacco industry (for attempting to hide the tragic link between cigarettes and cancer; this was before the Surgeon-General's report). Still on the rampage, he brashly waved a red flag in the face of prudes and bigots by running a photographic study of a nude interracial couple in his elegant quarterly Eros (this bit of lunacy won him numerous graphic-art awards and 8 months in prison). In no way "rehabilitated," he turned to the field of consumerism and set it on its ear with his hugely successful, greed-gratifying newsletter Moneysworth, in which he published such bawdy, and useful, articles as "A Consumer's Guide to Prostitution." Now at the peak of his madness, Ginzburg is about to come out with the wildest, most enticing, exasperating, you-can't-livewithout-it publication of his career: Avant-Garde Weekly. This dynamite weekly tabloid newspaper will completely demolish all preconceptions of what a weekly paper should be. It will be as irrepressible, ingenious, sensual and thoroughly madas Ginzburg himself. Drawing upon the talents of the most brilliant artists, writers, photographers, and journalists of our day (see list below), he will produce a weekly of incredible power that prints high-compression news, pantsdown profiles, mind-searing photographs, no-bull editorials, turn-'em-over-in-theirgraves obituaries, system-beating consumer tips, last-laugh political cartoons, kiss-ofdeath reviews of cinema, books and theatre, hash-pipe fiction and poetry, and tear-itout-and-frame-it illustrations. Avant-Garde Weekly is going to be one of those things you've got to see just to be able to say you've seen it. Just look at this list of the kinds of far-out articles and features Avant-Garde will print:
-
Pot BustThe discovery by Boston surgeons M.S. Aliapoulis and John Harmon
you can see, reading . Avant-Garde be like being plugged in every week to a fantastic intergalactic brain that gluts the information- and pleasure-centers of your mind. Avant-Garde boasts the most formidable list of contributors ever gathered by a weekly periodical. Among them are: Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Norman Mailer, Dick Gregory, Charles Schulz, Allen Ginsberg, Lily Tomlin, Roald Dahl, Dan Greenburg, Melvin Belli, Kurt Vonnegut, William Styron, Gloria Steinem, Jerry Rubin, Joyce Carol Oates, Isaac Asimov, Kenneth Tynan, Cleveland Amory, Richard Avedon, Herb Gold, William Burroughs, James Baldwin, Alexander Calder, Isaac Bashevis Singer, William Bradford Huie, Cornell Capa, Salvador Dali, and Muhammad Ali. In format, Avant-Garde is a nonpareil. Its dramatic layout, innovative typography, and lush color will take your breath away. Under the inspired art direction of Herb Lubalin, one of the world's foremost designers of publications, Avant-Garde will raise 4. he tabloid newspaper to a new art form. Avant-Garde is available by subscription only. The cost of six months (26 issues) is ONLY $5! This is A MERE FRACTION of what you pay nowadays for most weekly periodicals. What's more, if you order right now, you become a Charter Subscriber.
