Heated Words: Searching for a Mysterious Typeface

Heated Words analyzes the iron-on lettering, a true typographic language passed down for over a century, from historic Major League jerseys to the battle jackets of New York's street gangs. The book, featured in our Graffiti Books section, traces the subcultural landscape of the past fifty years through the proliferation of these iconic typefaces. This unique volume showcases previously unpublished archival images, including hundreds of illustrations and ephemera, offering insights from the worlds of music, fashion, and typography. Size: 21,5 x 28 cm.
