This exhibition catalog, created for the Museum of Arts and Design’s traveling exhibition Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting, explores the modern reinvention of traditional handcrafts by focusing upon fiber as a unifying element of lace, yarn and fabric. The type structure of the book is set in a 9 × 9 modular grid, with 1-inch interior margins for binding, to create a square page format. The rhythm of the book’s layout is based upon a lace knitting pattern, and chapter headings weave through the type structure to simulate fiber weaving through fabric. The type, set predominantly in Frutiger Light 9/13, was chosen based on its mix of modern and organic shapes, which further reinforces the focus of the exhibition. Printed on Nekoosa 80# Coated Dull 80# text. French folded and Japanese stab bound with embroidery thread.
