The typographic A–Z features exercises done in the basic typography course. In addition to the exercises the book contains impressions which visualize the essence of typography in a very personal way – showing styles, names and personalities.
Looking like a register book the wire binding is essential for the layout, it emphasizes the book’s ‘work in progress’ character.
The book cover has been printed with a letterpress and Garamond italic characters. This adds to the handmade feel of the book and makes it simply unique.
