"Letters & Lettering: A Treatise with 200 Examples" by Frank Chouteau Brown is a guidebook on typography and lettering techniques written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on providing a comprehensive collection of alphabets, with examples derived from both classical and medieval sources, aimed at artists and designers interested in utilizing letterforms in their work. The treatise emphasizes practical applications over historical context, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of lettering. The opening of the book outlines its purpose and showcases various examples of classic Roman capital letters, including their characteristics, construction, and practical usage. It establishes the significance of thickness variations in the letterforms and how they contribute to both legibility and aesthetics. The author also notes the influence of ancient techniques on modern lettering practices, providing insights into the foundational qualities that typographers should consider, all while setting the stage for the detailed examples and analysis that will follow in subsequent chapters.
