This astonishing book of alphabets, emblems and logos brings together the editors’ own selection of alphabets and symbols from their two famous previous volumes, Alphabets and Other Signs and ABZ: More Alphabets and other Signs, and adds much MORE new material.
Much of this feast of fascinating, rare and beautiful material, drawn from classic modernist books and magazines, as well as obscure professional journals, is reproduced here for the first time since original publication. Capricious and unpredictable, A2Z is an indispensable source of ideas and inspiration for any lover of lettering, graphics and signs.
