Now in its fourth iteration, revised and dramatically expanded with over 100 new pages, Julian Rothenstein's classic compendium, A2Z+ remains the ultimate source for unusual, inventive fonts not found anywhere else: the "Tippler" alphabet created from an elegant, drunk man's meanderings, one based on ink spots, and another derived from an avant-garde Czech ballet. Eye test charts assert their modernist merit, and a Russian graphic simplifies the connection between agriculture and industry in elegant Constructivist type.
Culled from books, advertisements, packaging, posters, and technical manuals from around the world, this off-beat collection is the perfect inspiration for designers, history buffs and anyone else interested in remarkable typefaces, symbols, and patterns.
