What’s the appeal of letters—both as crafted objects with a specific history, and as a mode of communicating, relating, and thinking? And in what way can critical writing learn something from this type of address?
This debut book by designer and curator Prem Krishnamurthy is a series of epistolary essays from Krishnamurthy addressed to the Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara. Kawara is best known for his “Today” series, a nearly lifelong series of paintings where the artist painted each day’s date in geometric-looking lettering. Krishnamurthy begins his letters by noting his frustration, as a graphic designer, with Kawara’s lettering. But as the essays progress, he explores the history of typography, graphic design, mathematics, politics, community, and race. The structural conceit (the title’s clever double meaning quickly becomes clear that it’s a book on letters but also a book of letters to On) creates a strange intimacy, making for a soft, personal, and stunning text of both memoir and art and design criticism.
The “Yearbook of Type” is a collection of the latest published typefaces that helps you find the one—from a browse through the book, or quick look in the index that neatly sorts typefaces by class, designers, and foundries. Each font and font family is presented on a double page. On the left page, the font is applied; inspired by this year’s theme of film and drama. To the right, the typeface is described in detail; with all its features, as well as information about the designers and foundries. A complementary online microsite features all fonts with direct links to respective foundries and purchasing options. The publication is rounded off by a series of essays, interviews, and tutorials on the subject of type design and contemporary typography.

The book tackles common myths and sets out the fundamental principles of circular design, which go beyond designing single products and services and instead focus on how to reshape the whole system. It explores how creatives can implement circular economy principles and demonstrates that by viewing waste and pollution as design flaws, circular design can become the new norm.
Through examples of circular design in practice and with insights from luxury brands including Gucci and Vivienne Westwood, independent labels such as Kevin Germanier and Marine Serre, high-street giants including Gap Inc, H&M Group and PVH Corp., pioneers of the virtual fashion experience – Alvanon and The Fabricant, and clothing resale and rental specialists such as thredUP and Vestiaire Collective, the book shows how creatives can transform the future of fashion, from being a major cause of global challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss, to being part of the solution.
