Claude Mediavilla - Calligraphy: From abstract calligraphy to abtract painting - Scirpus 1996
A reference for typography history.
In a wide-ranging analysis which takes us from the morphology of letterforms and their applications to the nature of form and composition, Claude Mediavilla shows how calligraphy has moved increasingly into the domain of the evolution of signs as the gestural aspects of writing have gradually come to dominate over the literal meaning of the words.
