Description
|
|
|
|
A dinosaur book for junior paleontologists up to 8, full of fun facts and modern-day comparisons, as well as an A-B-C book for beginning readers, with novel vocabulary words, Alphasaurs is, at its heart, a playful romp in the world of typefaces for font lovers of all ages, in which dinos are composed of their initial letters in various sizes. Allosaurus, for example, is made of upper and lower case As in Filosophia—bolder around the muscles, with pointy little capitals for teeth—while Brachiosaurus, in Universe Condensed, requires a flap opening on the left page and another going upwards from the right to depict his awesome 29-inch length.
