“The ‘information explosion’ and new multimedia systems of communication are drastically changing all forms of visual language. It becomes imperative for us to reconsider our present alphabet in the light of its legibility – especially when words must be freely and effectively converted from one medium to another by new electronic methods.”

An important book.
