Yet how does language continue to elude us? From Swiss designer Laurenz Brunner comes \u003ci\u003eDictionary of the Illegible\u003c\/i\u003e, a one-of-a-kind research project dedicated to illegible typography.\u003cbr\u003eBound in white faux leather with blue foil-stamping on the front and back covers and punctuated by a ribbon bookmark, this image-rich tome archives more than 250 examples drawn from the beginning of visual culture to the hypersaturated media ecosystem of the 21st century. Works by Albrecht Dürer, Hilma af Klint, Roland Barthes, Bruno Munari, Max Ernst and Paul Klee sit alongside equally puzzling screen captures from \u003ci\u003eFamily Guy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJeopardy!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e. Each entry presents distinctive typographic forms that push against conventional notions of \"readability\" while opening up new possibilities for visual interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"newspec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"infol\"\u003ePUBLISHER\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artbook.com\/source-type.html\"\u003eSource Type\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"newspec\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"infol\"\u003eBOOK FORMAT\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 5 x 7 in. \/ 480 pgs \/ 71 duotone \/ 278 bw.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park Life Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41487735095354,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7069\/files\/dictionary-of-the-illegible-10.jpg?v=1782321251","url":"https:\/\/www.parklifestore.com\/products\/dictionary-of-the-illegible","provider":"Park Life Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
