Glyph: A visual exploration of punctuation marks and other typographic symbols

Glyph is a beautiful little book that offers a typographic exploration of the punctuation marks, symbols and textual indicators that serve as the silent "fringes" of our language.

Written By:
Glyph+ book cover with royal blue background featuring isometric white blocks arranged in a pyramid formation displaying various typographic symbols and punctuation marks

So often overlooked, the fascinating history of each one is explored – from the humble ellipsis to the exuberant exclamation mark. Elegant grids of their most interesting graphic representations will appeal to typographers and design aficionados.

Conceived and designed by Adriana Caneva and Shiro Nishimoto of London design studio, Off-White, this book features their striking, minimal approach to design. Luxurious production, including hard-cut greyboard edges and liberal use of neon, completes the package. Discover more at www.cicadabooks.co.uk.
