About the Book
All the images in the book are original with carefully selected fonts which represent in the Author opinion the traditional Western Alphabet in a way that the difference can be analyzed between fonts so that when you scan through the pages you are aware of the element variation from font to font and that every mark can express different messages and feelings.
In this highly recommended book, the handwriting line drawings were used mostly raw materials to represent fingerprints to emphasize the idea of identity to better understand the relationship between typography and identity but also to create a manual that anyone interested in typography and handwriting can use as a reference.
