An A-Z of Type designers - Neil Macmillan

Currently reading this book for research into old typefounders and contemporary typefaces. I have two initial idea routes. 1 being the use of two typefaces, a relic from a bygone era and a much more contemporary designed fount. The second idea is to create a modular typeface to mirror her discilpline as a modular fashion designer, this idea would combine two typefaces and have interchangeable elements both ideas need developing and refining but both could be quite interesting.
