Typoems – 1977
/An excellent find by Andy in his archives of Preston-past, this beautiful little book (and the tutors behind it) gave genesis to the typography projects we run today.

At first glance, you’d assume it to be a contemporary publication; either due to it being ahead of its time, or indeed timeless in its design. The last slide details the table of contents and the student designers included, note a young John Rushworth.
