History of Chinese Character Design
History of Chinese Character Design is a book that explains the history of Chinese character design from the viewpoint of design studies. The seven Chinese characters in the title are set in seven fonts that show an evolutionary relationship. Black and white illustrations open each chapter, combining symbols drawn from the text and design examples of that chapter. Many information visualization diagrams support the content.
