Back to Font

Warning: This book may cause you to rethink your default typeface settings! **Back to Font** takes you on a fascinating journey into the lives of 16 iconic typefaces, revealing the secrets behind their creation and the stories of their “parents.” From Times New Roman to Papyrus, each typeface is dissected with chatty and opinionated insights, answering questions you never thought to ask.

Most importantly, this book helps you decide which fonts to kiss, marry, or kill! With a deep dive into classic typefaces like Futura, Baskerville, and Univers, **Back to Font** is a fun, engaging, and surprisingly controversial exploration of type.
