Discover the history, structure, and decorative power of the alphabet in this carefully prepared study edition of Lewis F. Day’s classic work.

Alphabets Old and New brings together an extraordinary range of historical letterforms—from Roman capitals, uncials, and Gothic scripts to Renaissance alphabets, decorative initials, numerals, monograms, and later display lettering. Day examines letters not merely as symbols, but as works of craftsmanship shaped by tools, materials, proportion, rhythm, spacing, and ornament.

Created for artists, calligraphers, typographers, sign painters, engravers, designers, craftspeople, and students of decorative art, this volume offers both visual inspiration and practical insight. Its extensive collection of alphabet specimens provides a valuable reference for studying historical lettering and developing new designs rooted in traditional principles.

This distinctive edition includes:

• Fifteen pages of original editorial study material by Alim Ekiz
• A newly designed introductory title page
• Cleaned, high-resolution black-and-white pages for clearer printing
• Carefully preserved historical alphabet plates and illustrations
