    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This title highlights the underrepresentation of female type designers, amplifies their voices, and showcases their creative work through an inspiring collection of typefaces by talented women, complete with case studies and biographical information.

    Frutiger, Garamond, Renner these are the names of typographers renowned in the industry for their iconic typefaces. But where are the women typographers? Despite significant contributions, the field remains dominated by men, both in perception and recognition.

    The author delves into this phenomenon of underrepresentation, aiming to enhance the visibility of female typographers and their typefaces while amplifying their creative voices within the industry. Alongside her exploration of the topic, the book showcases an inspiring collection of typefaces by talented women, each accompanied by a short biography. It is an invaluable resource for discovering typefaces when searching for fonts and highlights how female typographers continue to reshape and redefine the art of type design.
