text by Beatrice Warde
#2 CAPITAL LETTERS is a book in which the main text is selected from Beatrice Warde's 1951 essay, "The Design of Books." The subtext is selected from Bradbury Thompson's 1945 typographic essay in Westvaco Inspirations 152. Warde's text is interpreted in a set of eight books with each book designed as a typographic reaction to Thompson's Monalphabet and Alphabet 26 type experiments.
