Which Typeface Are You, Really?
“Reckon you’re a hip, young, variable thing—spontaneous and wild—but really, deep down, you’re an old, Modernist soul that likes everything in order? Think you stand out from the crowd, but in fact you’re a system font, touting yourself out there for all and sundry to use?”

Pre-order History of Desktop Publishing by Frank Romano
“History of Desktop Publishing is a personal and encyclopedic story of how the personal computer, unique applications, and many colorful people changed the creative and print communities. Author Frank Romano has documented the histories of hot metal and phototypesetting and continues the tale of document production in this book. This installment ends as the Internet becomes a primary focus.”

Reviving Type released
“Two studies, that started as a university course assignment and developed into an independent design-research, are woven together into one volume: one about the Renaissance letters of Garamont and Granjon, the other about the Baroque types of Nicholas Kis. The publication guides the reader from finding original sources in archives, through historical investigation and design process to the finished type.”
