A pattern book for fans of modernist type, A2Z is a collection of contemporary alphabets and commercial art, design and typography, from the austere to the elaborate.
Julian Rothenstein founded the very visually minded Redstone Press in 1986, and he has brought his highly trained eye to this mostly unseen collection of works.
Mixing found type, ranging from shop fronts and anonymous foundries to work by established masters of constructivism and abstraction, like El Lissitzky and Kasimir Malevich, the rich mix of art nouveau and strict modernism creates a heady visual cocktail for the font fetishist.
