Coauthored Colophon | 9 coauthored colophons
In my study of type design, the colophon, is a tool to better understand the book designer and type designer as author. Colophons are historical statements calling one's attention to authorship demonstrated by: the reading literature, the format and design of the book, the typefaces implemented, the printing press, the paper, the bindery and the date and location of the publication. Many notations are typically found on the title page. The nine coauthored colophons featured here subsided from a collection of thirty. Each generated specific to a focus on the level of authorship executed by the designer seen to be voiced as personal, technological or a combination of the two.
