Hand Job: A Catalog of Type

Review

“Cheeky, youthful exuberance…” –Library Journal, Mark Woodhouse, November 1, 2007

…Of the 55 practitioners of hand-drawn typography represented here — each given between two and six pages to show his or her stuff — none creates work that is remotely ordinary. — Metropolis, September 2007

…chock-full of inspiration for designers an eye candy for those who just dress like them…Hand Job is about the next generation of superstars, from frighteningly talented students to rising taste makers Deanne Cheuk and Kevin Lyons. It’s hours of fun. — Time Out Chicago, December 3, 2007

…it’s uplifting to experience a graphic design book that focuses on hand-drawn typography…vibrant and alive…hip without being pretentious–a true look at an underappreciated art form. This is the perfect book for anyone who appreciated graphic design and values sincere uniqueness. — BrandChannel.com, October 2007

A technique which transforms every shape of letter into an art, which celebrates every curve, every height and every upstroke. Sublime and reassuring at the golden age in the computing. — Rosebuzz, Winter 2008

If, like many of us, you’re tired of seeing one computer-generated graphic after another, Hand Job might provide a refreshing change. The book is a collection of hand-drawn type from 55 of today’s most-talented hand typographers. — Step Inside Design, November 2007

Review

“The new book Hand Job: A Catalog of Type by Mike Perry (Princeton Architectural Press, 2007), is a fascinating 250-page tome in its own right, with clever, cute and sometimes bizarre examples of custom-penned letterforms.
