The Dot and the Line, The Book

After I wrote about The Dot and the Line animation, Nigel Brachi contacted me to tell me about the book which came out a few years before the film. He kindly sent me some scans of the pages, which show just how faithfully the animators followed the drawing style. The typography of the text is often rather nice too:

The Ministry of Type is a weblog by me, Aegir Hallmundur, about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me. I am a designer originally from the far north of England, now living and working in Brighton in the far south of England. I love hand-tracing and recreating old designs as vector artwork, and there are many examples of that in this site. I have a portfolio here containing some examples of my paid work. I don't have a traditional blog commenting system, but you're most welcome to contact me: I've got a contact form on every article page, and one here.
