The title of this book made me stop as I added the letters in my head to make sure I was reading it right. Once I was past that small road block I was of course deeply intrigued as to what it has to say.
Hyperactivitypography from A to Z is an activity-book for typographers illustrated in a nostalgic vintage style to give it a sweet and childlike look. The book is packed with activities, ranging from silly to hardcore nerdiness.
It’s great to test your skills on and to learn new things while having fun. Who said typography had to be stiff and boring?
While the authors figure out when and how to reprint the sold out title, you can go ahead an enjoy the flipping pages of the online version.
