His first experiments with lettering—heavily influenced by the avant-garde typography of the 1920s—appeared on magazine covers, posters, and record sleeves. Timeless and technically dazzling, Igarashi’s signature style demonstrates his mastery of three-dimensional forms and perspective, refined long before the introduction of computers into the design industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTakenobu Igarashi A–Z\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eoffers a comprehensive guide to Igarashi’s experimental typography, featuring not only his most celebrated works, but also a first look at archival plans, drawings, and production drafts for his iconic designs.
