Every typeface and its style that is loaded onto my computer are cataloged in this small specimen book. The short but dramatic sample text “I’m Moving Out” is used to offer a tongue-in-cheek understanding of the voice of type design, as well as to confront and neutralize a difficult piece of personal history.
