Pioneers of Modern Typography was a book written by Herbert Spencer in 1969.
Pioneers of Modern Typography drew on and re-used material previously published by Spencer in the journal Typographica, which had brought to Britain some of the typographical experiments and design history of continental Europe.[1] In Lund Humphries description of the book:[2]
"Modern typography does not have its origins in the conventional printing industry. Its roots are entwined with those of twentieth-century painting, poetry and architecture, and it flowered quite suddenly and dramatically in the twenty years following the publication of Marinetti's Futurist manifesto in 1909."
