Ten Years in Type from Fontsmith

Fontsmith, a London-based type foundry, created 10 Years in Type to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the launch of their typeface library. The set of 10 booklets details a short story written by their typeface designers, giving insight into Fontsmith's creative processes and team dynamic, and the collection forms an "inspiration box" of pattern, fonts and story.

Love the detail shots they included:

The booklet was designed by partner agency Thompson Brand Partners. Fontsmith's Library currently includes 23 typefaces, including faces FS Lola, FS Me, FS Albert, FS Sally and FS Joey. Visit the 10 Years in Type microsite if you're interested in receiving a copy.
