ABC of Typography #[nn]

The cover of this SelfMadeHero release says it all — a bold, three-dimensional "ABC" blazes in red and orange above a dark collage of letterforms, scripts, serifs, and typographic specimens drawn from across history. David Rault leads a remarkable ensemble — Seyhan Argun, Aseyn, François Ayroles, Hervé Bourhis, Alexandre Clérisse, Olivier Deloye, Libon, Delphine Panique, Jake Raynal, Anne Simon, and Singeon — in this 2019 comics exploration of typography, opening with "The Birth of Writing." For anyone who has ever wondered why letters look the way they do, this beautifully designed volume is an irresistible invitation into the art and craft of type.
