■内容简介——

最终的印刷实验。 来自世界上重要的印刷工作室之一的 7,762,392 种字体。

MuirMcNeil 的两种类型系统是世界上重要的印刷工作室之一的印刷实验，它提出了一种系统的形式赋予方法，将设计过程从个人自我表达的狭隘范围中解放出来。

本书所展示的方法超越了单一问题的单一解决方案的短期限制，揭示了系统、过程和形式构成成功设计实践的基石的方式。

结合算法、机会和深思熟虑，对包含 23 种类型系统和 198 种单独字体的核心数据库进行插值，生成数百万种混合形式，其中每个点、线、空间和字母都被设计为紧密协调地对应和协作 。 展示的示例因其独特的抽象和引人注目的品质而被选中，采用三种充满活力的霓虹灯墨水和金属黑色印刷。 其结果不仅仅是一个字体目录，它展示了从深层挖掘设计问题的力量，让丰富多样的结果自发扩散。

The ultimate typographic experiment. 7,762,392 typefaces from one of the world’s foremost typography studios.

The ultimate typographic experiment from one of the world's foremost typography studios, MuirMcNeil’s Two Type System presents a systematic approach to form-giving that liberates the design process from the narrow confines of individual self-expression.

The methodologies demonstrated in this book transcend the short- term limitations of single solutions to single problems, revealing the ways in which system, process, and form constitute the bedrock of a successful design practice.

Using a combination of algorithm, chance, and deliberation, a core database of 23 type systems and 198 individual fonts is interpolated to generate millions of hybrid forms in which every dot, line, space, and letter is designed to correspond and collaborate in close harmony. The showcased examples, selected for their distinctively abstract and striking qualities, are printed in three vibrant neon inks and metallic black. The result, far more than a mere catalog of typefaces, demonstrates the power of excavating design problems at their deepest roots, allowing abundant and diverse outcomes to proliferate spontaneously.
