Fifty Designers’ Current Favourite Typefaces
- July 26th, 2008.
Is a small publication by James West of Create/Reject.
The book is just fascinating, giving an insight into the minds of some of the top names in design. The concept itself is very original yet very personal from the designers perspective: its like a woman asking another woman what perfume she wears, it seems quite a polite question and you should be flattered, but you don’t want to answer as they may just go out and buy it for themselves!
James came up with a great solution, just to display the statement adding the designers name in front of “…current favourite typefaces.” - changing the font of each word corresponding with the choices - so you would have to do some research if you did not recognise the font.
The book is pocket size and only £3, which is donated to UNICEF.

I decided to reveal my current favourite typefaces.
