Description

Custom Lettering of the 20s and 30s is a celebration of the stunning and stylistically varied headline lettering that existed before the advent of phototypesetting or the computer.

This unique publication collects over 4500 examples of custom lettering from the heyday of Art Deco and the experimental modernity of the Futurists—from geometric sans, elegant brush scripts, and heavy industrial serifs to hand-drawn eccentricities.

A cornerstone of any type-lover's library.

The Iliad

When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious and lean" (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)—critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an...

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
