A type specimen that is also a collection of artist work and texts that revolves around the emotions of Ecstasy, Joy, Serenity, and Love. Through the texts and imagery it reads like a novel more than anything else; the factors of dimension and form could have something to do with this as well. Although there is a lot of content, the book feels extremely well thought through. The content placement makes sense and feels intuitive even before reading further into the texts or examining the imagery. By displaying new typefaces through other people’s work the book becomes a compelling object. It is neither flashy nor overdone and it feels like everything within the pages was placed with purpose. The subtle use of different papers for different works is an extra smooth and flawless touch.
