Bear With Me

There are bears when they arrive, they do not want to leave anymore. Ther’s nothing you can do when a bear comes to stay. He follows you everywhere, and the more you try to send him away, the more he sticks to you: on the couch, while you are having a bath, or when you try to sleep. He even would get on a boat with you! This book created by the illustrator Noemi Vola tell us that sometimes it is possible to live with those who are heavy, dark and cumbersome; we just need to find our balance. Because eventually everyone has a bear on the stomach with whom he has to deal everyday.Visit product page → -

Bodoni The Complete Manual of Typography
$40.00
Alphabet legend: The complete reproduction of a typographical masterworkVisit product page →
Official printer for the Duke of Parma, Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) declared that well-designed type derived its beauty from four principles: uniformity of design, sharpness and neatness, good taste, and charm. In his Manuale tipografico, published posthumously in 1818, he distilled these principles into a comprehensive catalog of type and set the standard for printing the alphabet thereafter.
TASCHEN’s meticulous reprint of Bodoni’s masterwork celebrates what was an unprecedented degree of technical refinement and visual elegance, as well as exploring the origins of the much-loved Bodoni typeface, still much deployed in both print and digital media. Like the original, the book features 142 sets of roman and italic typefaces, a wide selection of borders, ornaments, symbols, and flowers, as well as Greek, Hebrew, Russian, Arabic, Phoenician, Armenian, Coptic, and Tibetan alphabets.
About the series:
