Sharp Type: Volume One is the first comprehensive type specimen published by Sharp Type, the celebrated global type design studio co-founded by Lucas Sharp & Chantra Malee.

Showcasing some of the foundry’s most iconic fonts—including Ogg, Sharp Grotesk, Sharp Sans, Centra and Beatrice—the volume is a homage to the great lettering manuscripts and books that inspired so much of Sharp Type’s work, offering a deep dive into 24 unique typefaces released during the first 8 years of the studio’s history. The volume also includes the essay, “A Type of Struggle.” 

Each volume comes with a complimentary desktop license of Sharp Freehand, an unreleased display font by Lucas Sharp, available exclusively through purchase of this book!
