Letter Love

This volume compiles 40 postcards ranging from the 18th to the 21st century from Letterform Archive’s vast special collections library, & celebrates the many ways that letters can surprise and enchant. The postcards showcase the 26 letters of the alphabet, 10 numerals & four punctuation marks. Each postcard in Letter Love spotlights a scene-stealing character by design favorites such as Saul Bass, Seymour Chwast, Hansje van Halem, Jean Midolle, Takenobu Igarashi & more. Printed with metallic ink and presented in a unique perforated booklet, the postcards tear off to reveal an illustrated catalogue that shares reproductions and details about the art. In removing the postcards, the reader is invited to use them however they wish: send them in the mail, create word compositions or keep favourites to display as art. The tactile effect is a playful approximation of sifting through the actual archive. Both delightful and practical, Letter Love makes an ideal gift for design and lettering enthusiasts.Artists and designers include: Vincent de Boer, Armin Haab, Peter Malutzki, Hans Donner, Sylvia Trenker, Louis John Pouchée, Julien Priez, Angel de Cora, Tauba Auerbach, Maurice Dufrène, Tezzo Suzuki, Kuwayama Yasaburo, Milton Glaser, Paul Rand, Tom Carnase, James Edmondson, Ross F. George, Roger Excoffon.
