Calligraphic numerals, by definition, should be not merely legible and functional, but beautiful. Uncommon Numbers, the first book in print dedicated entirely to the subject of calligraphic numerals, draws attention to a largely overlooked subject and provides the best possible examples of written and drawn numerals for study and inspiration. Thirty-two master calligraphers from the United States, Canada, England, Wales, Germany, and France have contributed breathtaking numerals that are, in turn, elegant, whimsical, bold, delicate, traditional, and innovative. What they all have in common is the same grace and flair and life as the letters that stand beside them. The book is organized loosely into four sections: exemplar-type pages, art pieces, commercial work, and a selection of typefaces that can inspire calligraphic numerals.
