Every day there is something happening in the world of typography and graphic design—something new being created in Buenos Aires, Paris, Tel Aviv, Tehran, Seoul, or Melbourne. The most inspiring, trend-setting, and enduring stories, events, and works have been collected here to guide the reader to the highlights: 52 for 52 weeks.

Releases such as the legendary 1975 NASA Graphic Standards Manual are presented, and various creative approaches are discussed. New fonts, typeface designers, and foundries are introduced, classic American fonts are newly interpreted, and the question of why new fonts are always needed is examined.

Important new logos are presented, the big industry events such as the Typo in Berlin are reported on, and the winners of the European Design Awards are presented.

At the end of the book there are dedications to Adrian Frutiger and Alan Rickman, who was once a graphic designer.
