Hacer y Componer. Una introducción a la tipografía

This is a fundamental book for those who love letterforms, no matter its nature, typographical, calligraphic, lettering. Finely printed and carefully designed and illustrated by the author, this second work by Francisco Gálvez is essential.

From the backcover: “Las letras están en todas partes, pero pocas veces reparamos en sus formas o en la complejidad que ocultan. Este libro es la puerta de entrada al fascinante mundo de la tipografía y su lectura permite entender el alcance y variedad de las letras, el desafío creativo para hacerlas y la magia de componerlas en un texto.”

This book has sold out. We look forward to its reprint. Stay tuned.
