Lapham's Quarterly

I have seen this on the newsstands at Barnes & Noble...



... and the back of this issue was the inspiration for...

THIS!



Fonts, used as a medium to tell a story, will always catch my eye.

Maybe it is when I used to watch my father, a watercolorist, graphic designer and calligrapher address several hundred wedding invitations, or maybe it was in college when I started out as a graphic design major in college and flipped through my share of font books. Who knows... but seeing this tote bag and knowing where the inspiration came from was right up my alley!

Michelle, the associate editor of Lapham's Quarterly, designed this tote.
