“This is one of those books we’ll use for studying and understanding type for the next decades by an incredibly talented graphic and book designer… and paper engineer.” Pentagram partner, Andrea Trabucco Campos

“Kelli is a genius.” Debbie Millman

Join St Bride Foundation and Kelli Anderson to celebrate the publication of Alphabet in Motion.

An ingenuous feat of paper engineering that features an interactive cover, seventeen pop-ups plus multiple manual experiments in light and shape, Alphabet in Motion is an immersive volume that explains and demonstrates the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms through the ages.

In addition, a 128 page companion essay reveals the rich meanings behind the typography that surrounds us – in our homes, on our screens and in our streets, Whether projecting light through a photo setting pop-up or reconfiguring Josef Albers’ Bauhaus stencil lettering, this masterfully crafted, hands-on publication will delight both typography experts and those who are new to the principles of design.

Kelli will share an in-depth and behind the scenes look at how she crafted and created these incredible pop-ups and the talk will be followed by a book sale and signing.

Books will be sold at a special discounted price of £60 (retailing £70). Find out more about the book HERE.
