Judith Schalansky designed a type specimen bible with pink edges; a declaration of love to the black fonts, which since then have found admirers from New York to Tokyo. She compiled 300 of the most beautiful Gothic character sets and positioned them opposite playful studies in form. In this way, she focuses our vision on the detail, flow and form of the font and creates ornamental patterns of self-contained power and beauty. To make her love contagious, she enclosed a CD in the book with 130 fonts for free private [also restricted commercial] use, so that you, too, can soon say: Fraktur mon Amour!
