»In each script there is besides its purpose a more or less independent aesthetic value of form, which is directly containing its own expression.« Karl Gerstner, Kompendium für Alphabeten

The idea of this project is the synthesis of two fields of font classification. The question is wether you can draw helpful conclusions for the traditional font characterisation out of graphologic insights. Is it possible to combine the traits of form and content and arrange them sensibly? Under consideration of different aspects, also including calligraphy and morphology, this book particularly examines digital scripts.
