His first experiments with axonometric lettering appeared on magazine covers, posters, and record sleeves—taking influence from the avant-garde typography of the 1920s but rendered afresh as bold sculptural letterforms. Timeless, arresting, and technically dazzling, Igarashi's signature style demonstrates a mastery of three-dimensional type and perspective draftsmanship, refined long before the introduction of computers into the design industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA to Z\u003c\/em\u003e offers an exhaustive guide to Igarashi's experiments with typography, featuring not only his celebrated print and physical works—many photographed specially for this publication—but also a first look, using never-before-seen archival work, at the plans, drawings and production drafts behind his iconic works.
