Hand Job...A catalog of Type

19 Comments Edit

I'm such a fan of TYPOGRAPHY! This weekend I'll be buying Mike Perry's " A Catalog of Type Hand Job." I swear, that title stopped me dead in my tracks when I first saw it! Ha! It's an older book, so I can't believe I don't it. For those of you who aren't familiar, it contains work by 55 of some of the most talented freehand typographers! Enjoy your weekend!

    Clever title. No better way to get people to look at your book then making them do a double take when they see it on the shelf.

    don't get me started on typography... love, love, love it. it's a completely different art form isn't it? I lack the requisite patience to be a font designer...but can't stop drooling over the work of others! :)

    The title is a head-turner!

    Fonts are becoming the new paintings don't you think?

    It's a brilliant title. My friend asked her boyfriend to get it for her birthday... think definite proof that he loves her that he went and got her a 'hand job'!
