Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the description of old print as a graphic project. It emphasizes three aspects of the book: its contents, function and form. It shows a proposal for analysis including print structure and typography. The structure includes: the title page, the publishing framework, additional materials and the main text. In the analysis of typography attention is paid to the typographic means of expression: font, printed surface, light, colour, typographic layout, format, highlighted elements, decorations and illustrations. The design elements, materials used for the book, especially the paper, and the printing technique are also very important.
