Type Only ( editors Adrian Shaughnessy, Tony Brook and Claudia Klat and published by Unit Editions in August 2013) celebrates a current trend in typography: type unsupported by illustration or photography. In other words, typography and letterforms on their own – solus. Through the work of around 100 graphic designers from around the world, Type Only explores the communicative and emotive power of type when used in isolation. —via source
