Designers and students and top creatives can find in this book fresh trends, inspiring content and new sources of inspiration in the world of typography.

The World's Best Typography: The Yearbook of the Type Directors Club of NY (published for the first time 1980) is a bible of inspiration for typography practitioners and enthusiasts. Within its pages, top creatives as well as publishers and students can find role models, fresh trends, inspiring content and new sources of inspiration. Readers will be inspired by the intersection of craftsmanship and creation, of classical skills and trailblazing innovations. Here, trends are identified and set, as the around 750 illustrations, 203 awarding-winning designs from 41 countries and 37 new fonts presented clearly illustrate. From kinetic typography to motion design, from packaging to magazines, from corporate design to architectural communication: the world's most creative people compete against each other here and the winning works are breathtaking. Previously divided into two competitions, one each for Communications Design and Typeface Design, the program is now a single competition consisting of three disciplines: Type Design, Typography and Lettering. This edition also includes a special index listing the principal typefaces used and the names of their designers. The Judges' Choices section features the winning entries that have been singled out as each judge's personal favorite; these pieces are accompanied not only by the judges' comments but also by designer statements. The Award for Typographic Excellence is the ticket to the best agencies in the world. The yearbook also reflects the latest typography trends, sets standards, is a collector's item and distinguishes its owners as visual thought leaders.
