  note: "In their simplest incarnations -- a line for an I, a circle for an O -- letterforms reveal their true nature: they are Forms first, Letters second. The connective tissue that transforms a circle into a letterform is only as strong as the imagination and consensus of the community for whom that circle represents the letter O."--Book artist's statement, in prospectus.
