12 examples of our firm's work are featured in a new book, 1000 Type Treatments, by Rockport Publishing. The work of design firms around the world was selected based upon the criteria of typographic excellence.
Publisher's Description
The ability to wield typography is one of those things that is a clear indication of a talented designer. Being able to craft type well and thoughtfully takes a deep understanding of the inherent complexities and a keen eye for the minute and subtle details. This book contains a collection of 1,000 instances of thoughtful type usage along with credits that note what fonts were used in the design. The photography in this book focuses in on the typography so readers can get an up-close look at the work.
