A Book Celebrating the Work of Master Typographer Takenobu Igarashi

Born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1944, Takenobu Igarashi‘s graphic designs can be recognised from among a thousand. They are presented in the book Takenobu Igarashi: A to Z, an art book that compiles his 3D typography projects, an initiative led by the publisher and crowdfunding platform Volume. After a successful fundraising appeal, the book was published in September 2020 by Thames & Hudson.

The monograph takes a thematic approach and foregrounds a number of emblematic works. It also explores Takenobu Igarashi’s international success, notably in the USA. Above all, however, the book showcases the originality and dexterity of his technique, which continues to inspire graphic designers today.

Takenobu Igarashi: A to Z (2020), is a book published by Thames & Hudson.
