Within its glossy pages, the book flaunts 20 different style formats, which includes the first one ever to be introduced by Paul Renner in the early 1900s.

She explained: "It is a squeaky clean approach to visual communication, and boasts a clinical style aesthetic that consists of one large A3 poster which incases collectors cards and a small information booklet. The stock used is waterproof and primarily designed for wear and tear by readers, as they learn more about Futura, one of the world's most famous and commonly used typefaces."
