3D TYPOGRAPHY

Can you really compare experimental three-dimensional typography - likelettering made of live moss or letter kites that fly messages in the sky- to the work of Gutenberg? If you ask Jeanette Abbink, Emily CM Andersonand the over 100 international designers and typographers featured in 3DTypography, the answer is a resounding yes.Having worked for prestigious media outlets as designers and art directors,Abbink and Anderson have compiled this book as a reaction to the fact thatso much of today's typography is conceived via two-dimensional screens.Like Gutenberg and generations of typeface designers who worked withphysically shaped and cast lead type, these artists return the literal heftto letters.
