Typography is a bubbling ferment in which venerable, conservative, and highly readable typefaces (and their descendants) mix with bizarre, sometimes over-the-top display fonts. This deck of 48 cards gives you a full specimen of a given typeface (upper- and lowercase alphabets, numbers, special characters) on one side of each card. On the other side are succinct and knowledgeable notes about the designer who created the face, random and relevant history, observations on design minutiae, apt comparisons with other faces, and the occasional restrained backhand to episodes of typographical folly. Witty, accurate, and deeply informed, these Knowledge Cards provide an absorbing entree to the noble art of typographic design. By Gwyn Headley. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.

London has accumulated millions of raucous and touching, scandalous and ennobling stories in its two thousand years. Some of those episodes were of more lasting resonance than others, and the concise essays in this deck of cards deal with events that have both prominent and obscure places in history. One side of each card features part of a London map, with a pointer to the location where a memorable event took place. The card s other side yields an eclectic charivari of well- and little-known facts about the event s circumstances, dnouement, and historic effects. There s an additional pleasure to be found in these cards. Lay them out in four rows of twelve, and you have an elderly map of London. If you don t know the city now, you will by the time you re done!By Gwyn Headley, map by R. Creighton from Lewis Topographical Dictionary, 1827. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.
