Lettera 2

$150.00

Building off the work of its predecessor, this one features twenty-seven original alphabets specifically drawn for this book which take the old theme of the typeface and produce some entirely new forms. There are nine pages of specimens illustrating these new creations. Eight other alphabets were either rescued from oblivion or represent the latest creations (circa 1961). It concludes with twenty-five pages of specimens showing modern trends. It all adds up to an exceptional book with tons to steal. (In fact, the original designs are presented large with the intended purpose that we reproduce and use them.) A great book.
