Another amazing book from the Letterform Archive Press!
Strikethrough is, yes, strikingly designed. It is a beautifully produced and crisply printed 280 page full color hardcover with debossed cover that provides a rich resource on the history of signs, posters and graphics designed in the service of protesting against oppression in all its forms, with a special focus on letter shapes and typography.
You can get a good sense of the book by visiting the publisher page on it, HERE.
Wow! This book is mind-bogglingly good. Its 432 pages will knock your socks off.

Here's the latest from Letterform Archive Press: a gorgeously produced oversize hardcover volume presenting an astute – and sumptuous – selection from a century of classic French signs. Lettres Décoratives provides readers with "a kaleidoscopic survey of letterforms from nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, Lettres Décoratives includes more than 150 plates from grand lithographic albums printed at the height of the sign painter’s craft."
Letterform Archive has put together a packed promo page that will whet your appetite for the world of Franco-typography – HERE!
Temporarily out of stock. More soon.... please check back!
Letterform Archive's edition of Piet Zwart's 1927-1928 NKF Catalog is a dream come true. A heavyduty slipcase contains a facsimile reproduction of the orignal catalog along with a supplementary volume (beautifully designed with a strong nod to Zwart's personal æsthetic) containing introductory/explanatory/historical essays, along with a generous selection of additional graphic work by Zwart, as well as translations of the Dutch text of the NKF catalog – all beautifully printed, of course.
Take a moment to visit the publisher's page to get a good idea of what Zwart was up to HERE (this work still feels so modern that it's hard to believe this work is now just shy of 100 years old!)
