Letterform Archive Salon Series 12

CODEX Artists

Industrial tape binding, tea-stained pages, calligraphy derived from music — some of the most thought-provoking objects in the Archive’s collection were first discovered at CODEX, the biennial celebration of the hand-made book. On Thursday we’ll showcase the innovative creations of Suzanne Moore, Thomas Ingmire, Redfoxpress, Sabine Golde, Russell Maret, and Islam Aly.

Morla : Design

Hot Off the Presses

In early January, Letterform Archive publisher Rob Saunders made a special trip to Shenzhen, China, to oversee the printing of Morla : Design, our second publication and the first monograph of author Jennifer Morla’s exemplary work. See more behind-the-scenes photos on our Indiegogo page, where you can still snag a copy of this beautifully produced book for yourself.
