An ingenious feat of paper engineering that features an interactive cover, 17 pop-ups plus multiple manual experiments in light and shape, Alphabet in Motion is an immersive volume explains—and demonstrates—the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms through the ages. Kelli Andersen’s work puts the reader’s hands, eyes and minds in touch with the meanings behind the typography that surrounds us in our homes, on our screens and on our streets. If you look carefully, you can see the history of the world—from the Bronze Age to the Information Age—in the microcosm of type.

NEW AT SWIPE! KINFOLK issue 49

Join us in Scandinavia and get a deeper look inside the cultural powerhouse. In this issue, we examine Scandinavia through a different lens than most, looking beyond the quality-of-life tropes to interrogate the region’s darkness and the creativity it can breed. We speak to pop icon Tove Lo, provocative filmmaker Ruben Östlund, and Sweden’s preeminent painter Karin Mamma Andersson, among others. Plus essays on the mainstream, hotel art and how to make a decision.
