3 Found Fonts - An Exploration
|
The basis of this book like the basis of many a fine meal was an Italian tin
of tomatoes with a decorative typeface. From this initial inspiration Jake Tilson has developed a study which
intertwines fonts, food and cities to create an evocative journey. The book uses a rich variety of papers, inks, rubber stamped sheets and hand-glued illustrations. With an essay by Gabriella Bassano. Softback, 70 pages + CDROM. 16 x 14 cms. ISBN 0 907508 37 5 |

The progress of his journey is illustrated by a wealth of photographs and collected ephemera that provide a fascinating record of a rich and detailed investigation. Accompanying this book is a CD-ROM containing the three fonts and a website with further documentation, recipes, photographs, drawings and texts. |  |
