Typolyrics: The Sound of Fonts (Edition.)

A combination of typography and sound

Graphic designers love music. This is attested not
least by the tremendous enthusiasm that readers of the typography
magazine Slanted bring to its "Typo Lyrics" column, in which designers
interpret music in entirely new ways with the help of fonts. For this
publication of the same name, celebrated graphic designers like Fons
Hickmann as well as talented young designers from all over the world
have taken song lyrics and used them as the inspiration for innovative
font designs. The result is a collection of fascinating visuals -
"typographic images" that present contemporary fonts a little bit
differently. The extraordinary interplay of type design and music brings
the fonts to life and practically sets them dancing. In contrast to
classical pattern books and font fans, this volume provides a special,
more emotional experience of typography and illustrates the great
expressive potential of typefaces. On analogy with the traditional
classification of fonts, the book is organized into eleven chapters,
each of which treats a particular font family and song lyrics from a
particular musical style.
