Great ideas come in tiny books


The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

Cover Design by David Pearson

How brilliant is that cover?

Penguin's Great Ideas book series are worth owning even if you don't know how to read.

Fonts to know

Hey gang,

So here are the faces we presented this morning, in list form. I thought about hyperlinking these, but I figured it might be easier for me if y'all just Google-search them yourselves to find the type foundries to which they belong.

Enjoy!
