Yearbook of Type, No.8 – History Edition

The eighth edition of the acclaimed Yearbook of Type series presents a curated overview of contemporary type design (2024–2026), with a focus on history and heritage. Building on the successful concept of previous volumes, it brings together high-quality typefaces from leading publishers, independent designers, and foundries worldwide—making it a valuable resource for type selection.

An accompanying microsite provides access to all featured typefaces for browsing and purchasing, extending the book into a functional digital library.

For designers, agencies, and typographers, Yearbook of Type #8 is both an inspiring catalogue and a practical reference—supporting type selection while highlighting the evolution of typography.
