Times New Roman, Garamond, Arial, Courier, Verdana… La fréquentation quotidienne de l’ordinateur a popularisé le nom et l’usage des polices de caractères. Mais que savons-nous de ces fameuses « fontes », comme les appelaient autrefois les imprimeurs ? Rien ou pas grand-chose… Simon Garfield entreprend de nous raconter l’histoire de quelques-unes des 100 000 polices de caractères créées depuis l’invention de l’imprimerie. Car derrière chacune d’entre elles se cache un destin, drôle et parfois tragique, qui croise souvent la grande Histoire – l’auteur raconte ainsi comment la police Gotham contribua à l’élection de Barack Obama. Les polices de caractères constituent aujourd’hui l’une des dimensions centrales de notre culture visuelle dont nous n’avons en général pas conscience. Qui sait que l’Helvetica a colonisé la signalétique urbaine outre-Atlantique et qu’elle est utilisée par toutes les grandes marques commerciales pour sa moderne efficacité ?
