I feel incredibly privileged to have received Monotype's One of a kind box set. Beautifully designed by SEA, the box contains twelve bi-folded booklets; each focusing on an aspect of Monotype's work: its Britishness and its Internationalness; essential workhorse fonts, lesser known gems, type on screen and web fonts; the company's heritage, publishing sympathies, American support and most famous fans.
Each booklet presents fonts appropriate to its theme accompanied by a text from someone of note: Creative Review's Patrick Burgoyne, Pentagram's Abbott Miller, Eye's Simon Esterson, Andy Payne from Interbrand, Rankin and SEA's own Bryan Edmondson; who I have say a special thank to for very kindly organising the dispatch.
It's an impressive piece and a fitting tribute to Monotype; its rich heritage and its dedication to the future of typography.
Impressive. One for the typographer's book shelf.

This is a great piece of art! You're lucky to have one! I wonder how can I get one of this?

Lovell. Can't find out anything about it... how would I obtain one of these?

Not sure how you might hold of a copy but you could try @MonotypeUK

You meant Abbott Miller right? I once called Domenic Lippa "Dominic" and felt awful… I was hoping for an internship and started on on the wrong foot. Nice guy though! (Domenic, I haven't met Abbott yet).
