In this saddle-stiched book, Alex Fuller presents a type experiment, which examines formal relationships between characters in two letter words by way of creating two-color monograms. It could also be seen as seizing a chance to play with the newly released Neue Haas Grotesk. The entire project is an exercise in extreme simplicity that has this wanton minimalist enthusiast salivating.
