From Lowbrow to Nobrow

McGill-Queen's University Press
This academic romp is set in Sabon because it offers the accents needed for the Central European characters. The text is set 10.5/14 to a width of 25p6. The type treatment of the title in Compacta and Sabon reflects the type on the cover. The display face for the rest of the book is Univers Condensed. The wild type treatment on the verso page shown at right was requested by the author to mimic the text he is discussing. The book measures 6 x 9 inches and is 232 pages.
