Anthony Froshaug: Typography & Texts

by Robin, Ed. Kinross

Presents the work and life of this essential typographer, until now too little known outside the circle of his friends and students. Froshaug was a deep and charismatic thinker-practitioner, whose insights return us to the fundamentals of typography. The book consists of two interacting volumes: the solid record of the work is placed against the contingencies of the life. A traditional monograph is unsettled by an exploration in documentary.

This one I'm indeed half-reading, if with great pleasure. Nerdy boxed set. Hyphen. It sat in my Amazon cart for 3 years before I succumbed.

So beautifully designed and printed!

Integral for the bibliography of any essay which needs an apolitical approach from a Modernist typographer.
