Número cinco: uma análise tipográfica da quinta edição do periódico “O Diário”

Abstract

The 19th century in the city of Fortaleza was marked by a strong movement of production around the written word. The research intends to analyze the sources of the fifth edition based on their formal characteristics and in the light of the classification system proposed by Aldo Novarese, so that we can, later, make comparisons between editions of O Diário. For the development of research, we used, first of all, a theoretical basis of history and literature to understand the press and typography scenario in Fortaleza in the 19th century, from its economic implications to the dissemination of literary writing to the population of the time. Then, we bring the theoretical references about type design in order to understand the nomenclatures, the classification systems and the printing process with movable types.
