“Browsing the fourth volume of Yearbook of Type published by Slanted Publishers is the closest thing to having a hawk’s eye view: you have the ability to fly over the typographic panorama as if you were a bird. A vibrant landscape of letters unfolds just by opening its pages.”
– Rayitas Azules

– TypeMates

 

“A substantial reference volume for new typefaces”
– Gerry Leonidas / University of Reading

 

“Yearbook of Type I is exactly what it sounds like: a comprehensive survey of new digital typefaces. The idea is to provide an independent print publication with an overview of new fonts and foundries, and a presentation of new developments in the field of typography. It looks like a great, informative reference for anyone interested in the latest happenings in the world of type design.”
– Duncan Robertson / Under Consideration

 

“This is a very interesting book to have to stay updated about new typefaces around the world, or as an inspiration to choose a font for a project. This is a nicely done catalog that will please those of you who have an interest in both literature and type design.”
– Marion Chibrard / Typofonderie
