A Queer Year of Love Letters: Alphabets Against Erasure is a toolkit for writing and preserving queer and trans histories. Building on Nat Pyper’s series of fonts, whose letterforms draw from the life stories and printed traces of countercultural queers over the past decades, this book pairs overlooked biographies with previously unseen archival materials, while highlighting Pyper’s distinctive approach to designing fonts as vessels for memory.
As Design Lead, I led the art direction throughout the project and oversaw production details. In addition to designing the cover and layout, I created type specimen pages and over twenty unique pull quote illustrations using the twelve fonts highlighted in the book.
