Sculptured

TDC Annual Typography 29, p99
Design: Sonya Dyakova, book

This is such a perfect type treatment for a book about sculpture. The designer very effectively created what appears to be 3-D strips of paper lying on their edges to spell out the title. The letters themselves are "sculptures". The use of white on white reinforces the concept of a paper alphabet. I like the added details of "cuts" in the background that give the impression that the letters are literally pushed through the paper. Looking at this cover reminds me of standing playing cards up on edge to create "houses".

The font used is called Paper Alphabet created by this designer.
