(Preface) 'How far can we take the graphic presentation of the alphabet? Do letters lose or gain in significance the further their shapes are abstracted? Can the alphabet possess the same iconic power as do Chinese characters? Can a letter become a sculpture-like monolith and still retain its communicative grace? The work of Takenobu Igarashi represents an important and fascinating direction in graphic design. His bi-cultural background and protean imagination have resulted in an array of both two- and three-dimensional alphabets and numbers. This book is a thorough introduction to Igarashi's work: his posters, the ten-year MOMA calendar project, and particularly his sculptures: dazzling in shape, materials, and concept.'
