"A Non-Reader for people who like to look at letters" also won a Bronze award at the DINZ Best Awards in 2021.

As a foundry, producing a printed specimen is a pleasurable addition to a typeface release, bringing a designer's typeface to life in a physical form. We would like to thank David for his commitment and supurb design of the specimen, we hope you feel proud of your achievements. Our role as publishers has kept us busy, sending out hundreds of copies all around the world and fending countless enquires between editions.

For the next edition of the book we are looking to offer the book from third party retailers, this will allow for more people to access the book with faster shipping times and hopefully combat rising production and shipping costs as we will produce more copies. If you think you would be a suitable retailer, please get in touch with us.
