Typography Sketchbooks
Edited by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico
I have come to the realization that I am a full-fledged typography nerd. Seriously. My laptop’s font book is excessively large... and filled with typefaces that serve absolutely no purpose in an everyday context, but are just so pretty. This book has been one of my go-to ‘I feel like being creative on this lazy Sunday, but can’t actually illustrate fonts, so I’m going to admire them instead’ pieces since I received it as a birthday present this year (that lucky giver was subject to a great deal of squealing and jumping up and down – I seriously need to control myself when given made-for-me gifts). Safe to say, this is the perfect gift for anyone who creates typefaces, or simply adores them.
