Featuring a selection of type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft, Sans in Use / Serif in Use collects the best combinations of both categories and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers alike.

From iconic landmarks to hidden shortcuts, GET LOST! takes your eyes on a cartographic journey and allows readers to explore the lands within through the skill of the Illustrators included.
