I recently stumbled upon Hand Job: A Catalog of Type which is published by Princeton Architectural Press. Curated by Michael Perry, the huge book contains an excellent collection of the works of fifty contemporary leaders in the field of hand-drawn lettering.

Tasty.

Have the book and love it. A nitpick on the title, though: handmade letters are not “type”. Type, by definition, is an object that reproduces letters. “Typography” is the arrangement of that type. This is a book of lettering.

Great point about the specifics of type semantics Typographica. Your knowledge of the craft never ceases to amaze me.
