**NEW** Why I Hate Helvetica

$15.00

Published by Greg Smith, Blind Pig Press

From the writer:

"‘Why I Hate Helvetica (or why I love Univers)’ is a personal essay about a typeface. Helvetica is dissected culturally and structurally and, as the title suggests, is found wanting. The digitally-printed interior pages are handseewn to letterpress covers.”

Through the work of his private press, Greg explores typography, lettering and type design, while producing books, posters, broadsides and all manner of ephemera. Before Blind Pig Press, he studied graphic design at NSCAD. His typography teacher at NSCAD told him he should ‘make little books.’ He did. Greg worked as a designer and taught graphic design and typography for twenty four years at Niagara College.
