==''Modern Typography''==
''Modern Typography: An Essay in Critical History'' is a critical history of printing and typography. Kinross asserts that modernism in typography emerged with the self-awareness of printing and the development of the rationality of its processes and tools.〔Kinross, Robin, Modern Typography: An Essay in Critical History, Hyphen Press, 1992.〕 Kinross dates these emerging attitudes to around 1700 and then traces the evolution of modernist typography. According to Matthew Carter, "Most histories of typography, particularly British ones, have been histories of traditional typography that treat Modernism as an aberration. Studies of Modernism, for their part, have tended to isolate it from contemporary traditional typography. This book aims to break down that separation by considering issues other than visual appearance, and by avoiding the ‘bibliophilic nostalgia’ so prevalent in typographic culture."〔http://www.eyemagazine.com/review.php?id=36&rid=309&set=370〕 The book takes some inspiration in title and treatment from Kenneth Frampton's ''Modern Architecture: A Critical History''.〔http://www.hyphenpress.co.uk/journal/2000/08/21/kinross_interview〕
