This is Andy Altman almost exactly two years ago, reviewing the latest draft of typo*. We used to lay everything out on the floor and shuffle things around. Please support our Kickstarter campaign to fund publication of Andy’s final magnum opus. Link to Kickstarter in bio.
I’m a typo* please help me!
Andy’s much-anticipated book typo* is Kickstarting right now. We just need to raise £10,000 to make it happen.
He modestly described typo* as ‘a scrapbook of typographic obsession’, but it’s far more than that.
typo* is 440-plus pages of visual pyrotechnics by a generational creative talent. Each page cascades with typographical food for thought. It mixes observations, musings, memories, anecdote, ephemera, ‘fettling’ and personal infatuations, along with a selection box of his greatest hits.
typo* is destined to become a stone-cold classic design book. There’s only a limited print run, so be sure to reserve your copy now.
Before he left us, Andy asked some of his typographically inclined friends to create cardboard artworks featuring the line ‘I am a typo* please help me’. These will be appearing across social media in the next days, as an invitation to head over to Kickstarter and back an extraordinary piece of work. The image above is Andy’s own, which appears in the book. See link in profile and please pledge! #andyaltmann #typography #graphicdesigner #kickstarter #greatbritishdesign
