The Twelve Alphabet is a new abecedarium in which each letter form and the ampersand are constructed entirely of metal type and ornament having 12 points along at least one side. Designed from a large studio collection, the letters are inspired by both contemporary and historic sources. Each image measures 6” square and is printed (recto only) in two split fountain ink passes on Zerkall soft white paper. The book measures 12x12” with a wraparound Somerset gray cover and is bound with screw posts. The edition of 40 includes a title page and colophon.
