Been a busy busy busy few weeks in London. Visited some fantastic exhibitions @japanhouseldn and @designmuseum, started Stage 2, and visited the always inspiring @hyperkitstudio Much more ahead. Stay tuned.
📚Hey everyone! We’re starting a new weekly tradition—each Monday, we’ll feature a book from our Design Center library to inspire and energize you for the week ahead. Our collection celebrates diverse voices that shape art and design discourses.
Kicking things off, we have ...⚡️Strikethrough: Typographic Messages of Protest⚡️ by @siborg81, published by @letterformarchive. This book is a powerful exploration of how typography has historically been used to drive social change from the United States and beyond.
Can you guess the typefaces? 🤓
