“Roy Kuhlman: Reluctant Modernist”is an upcoming monograph about the graphic designer Roy Kuhlman.

I worked with its author, Steven Brower, and his collaborator Craig Welsh to design a multi-width typeface based on the distinctive lettering style that Kuhlman used on several of his book covers, created with cut paper and masking film.

The book (available for preorder!): https://www.fantagraphics.com/collections/coming-soon/products/roy-kuhlman-reluctant-modernist
