When I was a wee little tike, probably around the age of 6 or 7, my Dad gave me an old book on lettering. The book was filled with all kinds of different typefaces. The book and its contents quickly became an obsession. I suddenly had to draw all of them. Anytime I was creating something that required letters, they had to meticulously drawn, simple letters definitely wouldn’t do.

Looking back now, this book was really my first introduction to typography and design. I decided to post pages from this old book that inspired me as a young boy to start down the path of this wonderful world of graphic design. Thanks Dad.
