TYPE

Book design | Book arts

A book about botany, women, science, and seaweed. The title Type, refers not to typography, but to the term used by scientific institutions such as the herbarium at the New York Botanical Gardens, that classify an exemplary specimen as the Type against which all others should be measured.

Thanks go to the staff of the herbarium at the New York Botanical Gardens who made their extraordinary collection of seaweed specimens available for this project.
