Long out of print and coveted by collectors, this revised and expanded edition of the very first unpublished volume of New Aesthetic is a cheery companion for designers, art directors, and anyone who loves the expressive possibilities of typography.

New Aesthetic has set a new standard for contemporary catalogs of experimental type, embracing an approach to type design that highlighted the artistic possibilities of the practice.

"Typography is the heartbeat of graphic design. It's more than the gateway to an enjoyable and efficient reading experience. It's a language that expresses more than mere words and sentences – an art form that speaks volumes in silence.

New Aesthetic delves into the enigmatic realms of creative expression, uniting a collective of typographers, artists, and designers, each contributing their distinctive approach to typography. New Aesthetic seeks to inspire and innovate, opposing typographic rigidity and welcoming artistic exploration and expressive experimentation.
New Aesthetic believes in the profound emotional influence wielded by typefaces and serves as a canvas, painting a multifaceted portrait of modern typography. Focusing on the emotionally influential power that typefaces hold, New Aesthetic shows modern typography in a multitude of facets." —The Editors
