A timeline of the evolution of writing and typography Designer Alex W. White packs the pages with fifteen hundred images--modern and ancient, specially created and found--that illustrate typographic concepts and continue to yield more complexity and connectivity with each viewing. Listening to Type proves that type is much more than groups of letterforms on a page; it is a language with the ability to convey meaning and evoke emotions beyond the spoken words it symbolizes. Allworth Press, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, publishes a broad range of books on the visual and performing arts, with emphasis on the business of art. Our titles cover subjects such as graphic design, theater, branding, fine art, photography, interior design, writing, acting, film, how to start careers, business and legal forms, business practices, and more.

We often publish in areas overlooked by other publishers and welcome the author whose expertise can help our audience of readers.
