Books: Type Addicted

Type Addicted: The new trend of A to Z typo-graphics. Victionary books

I just ordered “Type Addicted: The new trend of A to Z typo-graphics” which is an amazing looking book published by Victor Cheung’s Victionary group, about the role of typography in contemporary design.

Victionary are renowned for producing what they describe as “highest quality publications focusing on graphics and visual communications”, and Type Addicted seems like no exception to the rule. Here’s a snippet from the book description:

Type is one of the graphic elements that designers always get addicted to play with. It is commonly used on almost every item in our daily life. The title not only presents a rich selection of experimental and inspirational typefaces and its application, it also reveals the diversity and innovative approaches of contemporary typography. Examples of work by up-and-coming practitioners as well as international and renowned icons are demonstrated; new directions and trend of nowadays typography around the world will also be disclosed eventually. This is truly developed for type addicts!
