Re: Book of Jam - Now available!
seriously wtf. i understand how greeting something overwrought with an obvious statement that whittles it down to size and reduces it to its components is a nice way to deflect something, but not only is what warwicker doing beautiful in poetic and compositional ways, it also makes complete sense. it's not ever just wacky kerning/tracking, but also the audible and conceptual spaces between words, letters, settings: it's describing a space and a concept through pure type alone. the typeface is no longer the primary communicator of that, it becomes just as much part of the picture of idea and space. i honestly think it transcends good composition and expression into something poetic (hence typo-poetics) because it gets so nuanced and each detail and decision reveals something more, and it's vivid enough to be as much of a photograph of a place as ricks hi-def pics.

cant wait for the book.
