Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Book Cover

Project Description

This book is the first in a series of printed specimens for Swedish foundry Letters from Sweden, founded by Göran Söderström. Letters from Sweden 2011–2015 is divided into three sections (Retail, Custom, and Fonts in Progress) printed on different paper qualities. The book features photography by Ola Bergengren. An update on the traditional type specimen it presents letters on paper along with a presentation of the company and the area of Björkhagen outside Stockholm.

Production Lesson(s)

Sad lesson that with each new printed project there's less and less and paper options. At least in Sweden.
