An excellent adition to the Chronicle Art Deco series! Oct 07, 1998
By Nick Ralph (pfdsnr@pollyflame.nl)
Deco Type is a wonderful record of typography from the 1920's and 30's.Although it deals with mainly european type it shows a fantastic range within 'the style' that will also be recognizable and enjoyable to the American collector or historian.Until now the most valuble and informative source on Deco type that I have been able to find, a beautifully presented and un-misable book in my collection!

An Excellent Resource...However,.... Feb 02, 2003
By J. D Suggs
This is an excellent entry in the terrific Heller/Fili series on Deco graphics, but it isn't strictly a book of fonts. Like the other books ("German Modern", "French Modern", "British Modern", "Italian Art Deco"), it is a collection of striking graphic images from the period, this time with an emphasis on characteristic lettering styles. Relatively few of the fonts are shown in a complete and therefore usable form, so this book is more of an inspiration and a reference tool than a directly applicable source of type. But it's an inspiration for sure, and has been very helpful to me in my work, and it's also simply a visual pleasure.
