Elements of lettering <with XIII full-page plates>
Elements of Lettering is a 1922 New York instruction book on lettering by the typographer Frederic W. Goudy, written for students and working designers of letterforms. Its plates show decorative capital alphabets, a Lombardic historiated initial, and a diagram of Roman capital proportions after Dürer. Designers can take from them the variety of capital construction, from flourished roman caps to blackletter, and the geometric method behind classical letter proportions.
