«Manual tipográfico de Giambattista Bodoni» is João Bicker's essay on typography, published by Almedina in hardcover (146 pages, in Portuguese).
The book presents the life and legacy of Giambattista Bodoni, an Italian type designer and printer of the 18th century, and sets out the virtues that, in his view, should govern the design of letters: regularity, clarity, good taste and grace. The Portuguese edition of the introductory text of his manual aims to be, more than a technical or didactic resource, a tribute to one of the most significant works in the history of typography.
The edition includes the Portuguese publication of the introductory text of the Manuale Tipografico, published in 1818, five years after Bodoni's death.
Recommended for graphic designers, students of graphic arts and people interested in the history of printing and the evolution of editorial design.
