Description
The definitive typographic exploration of the letter forms and typography of one of Europe's leading design studio.
Letters from M/M (Paris) is a comprehensive study of the typefaces produced by Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak since they founded their influential art and design practice, M/M (Paris).
For the first time, ninety of the designers' typefaces are catalogued chronologically in a three-part volume, comprising the history of their development; exclusive type specimens; and detailed illustrations of projects in which they appear.
With a foreword by Bjoerk - whose collaboration with M/M spans over two decades - this encyclopaedic volume traces the distinctive and integral nature of type, lettering and signs in the work of M/M, from one-off artistic commissions to fashion branding and their long-lasting collaborations with musicians and theatres.
This complete typographic collection is the perfect companion to the two-volume monograph M to M of M/M (Paris), and will appeal not only to graphic designers, historians and students, but to anyone interested in art and visual culture.
The definitive typographic exploration of the letter forms and typography of one of Europe's leading design studio.
