(GRAPHIC) / DESIGN
In 2006, Frere-Jones became the first American to receive the Gerrit Noordzij prize, presented by the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, in honour of his unique contributions to type design, typography and type education. Responsible for almost 50 font designs, Frere-Jones’ irrepressible investigations are heavily influenced by older American typography and signage. This publication documents his different font types and is accompanied by essays and observations and photographs taken from the designer’s archives, all presented in a fittingly well-designed edition. 92 p ills colour & b/w 16 x 22 English pb
