MetaDesign : design from the word up
"MetaDesign is highly regarded among the design community for its rigorous and philosophical approach to problem-solving. Founded by typeface designer Erik Spiekermann in 1979, the firm has grown from a small studio specializing in type and graphics to a multidisciplinary design company with offices in Berlin, San Francisco and London. Its high-profile projects have included signage for Berlin's reunified transportation system, a typeface for the Glasgow 1999 festival, Websites for IDEO and Audi, and exhibition design for the Getty Center, Los Angeles. This book examines a wide range of recent MetaDesign projects and also looks at some of Erik Spiekermann's own type designs, including his seminal Meta font."--Jacket
